Price comparison

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

Billing	A10	L4	Difference
On-demand	$1.42 /GPU/hr from $1.00	$0.89 /GPU/hr from $0.32	38% cheaper on L4
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.71 (12 mo)	$0.51 /GPU/hr from $0.27 (3 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.59	-- /GPU/hr from $0.13

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 spot on the L4: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
