Coreframe Cloud VS Ruam

Coreframe Cloud's answer

Coreframe Cloud rents full Windows desktops on NVIDIA RTX 5080 GPUs, streamed to any laptop and billed by the minute. Built for architects, interior designers, visualisation studios and CFD engineers who need workstation-class hardware for the hours they actually use it. Hosted in Bengaluru, billed in INR with GST included.

Ruam's answer:

Ruam counts work hours on its own without watching anyone. It never takes screenshots or logs keystrokes. Each person sees their own day first, and managers see hours, attendance and time by project and client, never page titles. Teams pay one flat price, however many people they add.

Coreframe Cloud's answer

A whole dedicated RTX 5080, billed by the minute, priced in rupees with GST already included and a tax invoice you can claim input credit on — a combination we haven't found anywhere else in India. Most Indian GPU clouds sell headless Linux on datacentre cards to AI teams. Most cloud-workstation services that actually understand 3D work bill in dollars from outside India. Coreframe gives you a real Windows desktop with D5 Render, Blender, Twinmotion and Unreal Engine already installed, project files that persist between sessions, and billing that starts when the stream does and stops when you close it. Bring your own licence for Lumion, Enscape, Revit or 3ds Max — we provide the machine, never the licence

Ruam's answer:

Coming from Hubstaff or Time Doctor, you keep the hours and attendance without the screenshots that make people feel watched. Coming from Toggl or Clockify, nobody has to remember to start a timer: Ruam counts on its own. And the price doesn't grow with the team. Team and Business are one flat price with no limit on people.

Coreframe Cloud's answer

Coreframe Compute Labs was founded in Bengaluru in 2026 around a specific observation: the workstation an Indian design studio needs to render comfortably costs around ₹5,00,000 landed, gets bought once, and then sits idle most of the week. The cloud alternatives were either headless Linux boxes built for AI training, or foreign services billing in dollars with no Indian tax invoice. Neither suits someone who just wants to open Lumion and hit render. So we built the unglamorous version: a real Windows machine with a real GPU, hosted in Bengaluru, rented by the minute, with a GST invoice at the end of it.

Ruam's answer:

I've been on both sides of time tracking. As a freelancer, clients asked me to install software that took screenshots of my screen. From 2020 I managed remote teams, and in 2023 I started a cold email agency, with team members in India and the Philippines, partners in the US, and callers in the US and Europe. I needed to know my team showed up and did the work, and I refused to spy on them to find out. Timers people had to remember never worked, and tools that watched people made things worse. So I built Ruam: it counts hours on its own, by project, client and shift in each person's own time zone, and shows each person their own day first. The name comes from the Thai word รวม (ruam), which means bringing things together, and the total they add up to.

Coreframe Cloud's answer

The workstations are Windows 11 machines, each with a dedicated RTX 5080 (16 GB), streamed to your laptop over an encrypted private network with latency low enough for real-time viewport work. D5 Render, Blender, Twinmotion and Unreal Engine ship on the standard image, and project files persist in storage in the same Bengaluru facility. CFD runs on dedicated compute machines, one per job, which are deleted when the job finishes. Payments go through Razorpay, with GST invoices for Indian customers.

Coreframe Cloud's answer

Architects, interior designers and architectural visualisation studios, along with freelance 3D visualisers and students who need workstation-class hardware without buying it. A second group is HVAC and mechanical engineers who need pressure-drop numbers for ducts, pipes and fittings, including a three-mesh Verified study for when the answer has to stand up. The common thread is bursty work: heavy rendering or simulation before a deadline and very little after, which is exactly the pattern that makes owning a ₹5,00,000 machine hard to justify.

Ruam's answer:

Small and remote teams and agencies that need to know hours and attendance without monitoring people, and freelancers and solo founders who want an honest record of where their work day went. Ruam is free forever for one person.
