Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX A2000	GTX 1660
On-demand	-- /GPU/hr from $1.34	-- /GPU/hr from $0.04
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $1.20 (1 mo)	-- /GPU/hr from $0.19 (24 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.10	-- /GPU/hr from $0.02

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 on-demand, reserved and spot on the GTX 1660: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
