Heads up: Figures take each provider's closest plan to a common setup, and vary by region and usage. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
Each card leads with a per GPU per hour rate. We prefer configurations the provider reports as in stock, on-demand rates before reserved or spot, then take the lowest per-GPU rate among those.
We match the GPU model, form factor, billing type, availability and instance name. Matching is partial and case-insensitive. Everyday words work too, so "interruptible" finds spot and "sold out" finds out of stock.
Alibaba Cloud lists 4 GPU models across 64 configurations, including the V100, T4 and A10. Prices start at $0.62 /GPU/hr reserved.
No GPU models match .
Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price. See Alibaba Cloud's pricing.
