Price comparison

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

Billing	A30	A800
On-demand	$0.69 /GPU/hr from $0.41	-- /GPU/hr from $0.88
Reserved	$0.58 /GPU/hr from $0.38 (12 mo)	No reserved listings
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.29	-- /GPU/hr from $0.40

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 A30 and on-demand and spot on the A800: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
