Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | A16 | A4000 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.56 /GPU/hr from $0.47 | $0.21 /GPU/hr from $0.15 | 2.7x more expensive on A16 |
| Reserved | No reserved listings | $0.25 /GPU/hr from $0.11 |
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. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
