DigitalOcean bills by the second, with a minimum charge of 60 seconds. Bundled Droplet plans are capped at their monthly rate, while v5 Droplets bill for the hours used.
Each Droplet plan includes outbound traffic, shared across every instance on the account, and traffic beyond it is billed per GB. GPU Droplets also sell on spot or reserved terms.

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.
DigitalOcean lists 10 GPU models across 20 configurations, including the H100, B300 and H200. Prices start at $0.76 /GPU/hr on demand.
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 DigitalOcean's pricing.
