Replicate and CaseDesk can both help teams use AI. CaseDesk is designed for organisations that need the model runtime to remain in infrastructure they control.
Replicate offers its own AI product and commercial model. Review its current documentation directly for supported models, regions, tenancy, and pricing.
Choose Replicate when its product model, hosting location, and commercial terms suit your workload.
CaseDesk connects a compatible API and policy layer to a Kubernetes cluster, GPU VM, or approved provider account your organisation controls. Your cloud or provider account remains the runtime payer; CaseDesk charges for the control plane and metered routing services.

| Operations controls | Connection verification, route policy, spend controls, and usage evidence | Varies by provider and plan |
CaseDesk does not sell or silently create GPU capacity for customer workloads. You connect an approved environment that your organisation pays for and controls. CaseDesk verifies the connection before enabling a bounded trial or production route.
Your cloud or provider invoice remains separate from CaseDesk. CaseDesk uses a free developer sandbox, then prepaid credit for active production connections and measurable routing or operations services. This keeps the provider runtime bill separate from CaseDesk platform spend.
Your selected region, provider account, endpoint, and workload boundary are recorded during connection verification. Confirm the provider's retention, networking, and access controls against your own requirements before production use.
CaseDesk uses compatible API contracts and routes to an endpoint you control. You retain the ability to change the underlying runtime or provider without rebuilding every client integration.
Choose Replicate if its hosted service, regions, and commercial terms match your requirements.
Choose CaseDesk when you need compatible APIs and platform controls while keeping the runtime inside infrastructure your organisation controls.
Answer five questions. CaseDesk recommends a connection profile, then verifies infrastructure your organisation or provider controls.
