Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX A2000	A30
On-demand	-- /GPU/hr from $0.08	$0.69 /GPU/hr from $0.41
Reserved	No reserved listings	$0.58 /GPU/hr from $0.38 (12 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.03	-- /GPU/hr from $0.29

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 on-demand and spot on the RTX A2000 and spot on the A30: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
