Price comparison

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

Billing RTX A2000 A4000 Difference
On-demand -- /GPU/hr from $0.07 $0.23 /GPU/hr from $0.08
Reserved -- /GPU/hr from $1.01 (1 mo) $0.18 /GPU/hr from $0.06 (6 mo)
Spot -- /GPU/hr from $0.04 -- /GPU/hr from $0.07

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, reserved and spot on the RTX A2000 and spot on the A4000: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
