Ep 04 | Run ComfyUI for Free on cloud (or Cheap) | Colab, Kaggle, Vast.ai, RunPod

Episode 4 of ComfyUI — Zero to Hero. No local GPU is not the end. Same UI. Same graph. Rented hardware. This is a map, not a workflow drop. Prices move — check live rates before you pay. Free first Google Colab — T4 notebooks, Drive persist, tunnel URL Kaggle — often the best free weekly hours (T4 / P100) Lightning.ai — one-click Comfy studio + starter credits Hugging Face Spaces — share a demo, not a full desktop Paperspace — extra free notebook option Official Comfy Cloud — free credits, then paid Cheap rent Vast.ai — usually the floor price, host quality varies RunPod — templates + volumes, better for longer jobs Salad, TensorDock, Clore — more marketplace options Managed ThinkDiffusion, RunComfy, MimicPC — you pay so you don’t admin a server Rule: Kaggle/Colab to learn. Vast to save. RunPod when the job must finish. Stop the instance when you leave. #ComfyUI #ZeroToHero #Colab #Kaggle #VastAI #RunPod
