Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | A10 | GTX 1080 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $1.42 /GPU/hr from $0.23 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.04 | |
| Reserved | -- /GPU/hr from $0.71 (12 mo) | No reserved listings | |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $0.59 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.02 |
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 and spot on the A10 and on-demand and spot on the GTX 1080: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
