Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | A16 | RTX PRO 6000 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.52 /GPU/hr from $0.11 | $2.19 /GPU/hr from $0.65 | 76% cheaper on A16 |
| Reserved | No reserved listings | $1.82 /GPU/hr from $0.48 (1 mo) | |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $0.07 | $1.19 /GPU/hr from $0.27 |
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 spot on the A16: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
