I am looking for a comprehensive list of cloud-based solutions to run Stable Diffusion + plugins in the cloud as an API.

Some known services (not sure if they have an API):

This is one of those situations where I really have to wonder if running SD via a cloud solution for personal use is truly cheaper. Granted, I don't really use cloud-services that I don't host myself, but I have a hard time believing that, over time, this would a more cost-effective endeavor then just investing in the hardware.

I agree with you, however we need to experiment and a ready API without all the setup costs for VM and updates would be the best choice at the moment.
