Price comparison

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

Billing	A10	RTX 5050
On-demand	$1.63 /GPU/hr from $1.00	-- /GPU/hr from $0.07
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.71 (12 mo)	No reserved listings
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.59	-- /GPU/hr from $0.03

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 RTX 5050: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
