If you want to run scientific calculations or similar, I highly recommend Golem. Right now, its best applications are ones that can scale by sharding, to use parallel computations. Think doing 100 similar small jobs on 100 computers instead of 1 large job on 1 computer. One average CPU-month costs $3.17, or you can rent 100 CPU-hours for $0.44. Notable examples are blender_cuda which runs on a GPU, and the entirety of awesome-golem.
Since you're so focused on ICP which is mostly used to run webapps, I can also think of why Sia/Skynet can be useful. Skynet bases itself on the Sia blockchain, where any user can upload a file or a database entry through a portal, self-hosted, private, or public. With cryptographic proofs, it is possible to verify that files are not lost, are re-generated, are legitimate (i.e., not spoofed by the potentially malicious portal) - all while keeping prices low at $1.44/TB/mo + bandwidth, and reliability at an assumed 99.9999% uptime and a much larger availability.

For flexibility in running almost anything, I can recommend Akash. This is a decentralized marketplace where you can run most Docker images on trusted providers, with the option of load balancing. It's also cheaper with the cheapest tracked deployment costing $0.17/mo which would mean $0.34/mo for 1 GB + some free RAM & vCPU. Speaking about flexibility, providers can add public attributes to give you details regarding anything you may need, whether it's for which CPU model they're using or how much bandwidth you're getting.
