CoreWeave vs Modal
Side-by-side comparison of CoreWeave and Modal for single-tenant LLM hosting. Deployment options, compliance, pricing, and operational fit compared.
CoreWeave
Security page states every CKS node is single-tenant; CKS runs Kubernetes directly on bare-metal nodes without a hypervisor. SOC 2 Type II scope covers Bare Metal and CKS. Trust centre shows ISO 27001/27017/27018 badges but the security page uses "aligned with" wording, so ISO 27001 is excluded (https://www.coreweave.com/security). Terms name CoreWeave, Inc. under New York law.
Modal
Terms commit to processing customer data only in customer-specified regions. HIPAA BAA is Enterprise-plan only, and scoped (Volumes v2 in, some features out). No dedicated/single-tenant tier on the public pricing page at review.
