| Reserved | $0.54 /GPU/hr from $0.38 (12 mo) | $0.43 /GPU/hr from $0.20 (36 mo) | 22% cheaper on T4 |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $0.29 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.15 |
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 spot on the T4: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
