Price comparison

Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.

Billing	Gaudi 2	RTX 4090	Difference
On-demand	$1.16 /GPU/hr from $1.04	$0.46 /GPU/hr from $0.33	61% cheaper on RTX 4090
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.59 (12 mo)	-- /GPU/hr from $0.44 (36 mo)
Spot	No spot listings	-- /GPU/hr from $0.16

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. Medians are across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one. No median for reserved on the Gaudi 2 and reserved and spot on the RTX 4090: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
