Price comparison

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

Billing	A40	A4500	Difference
On-demand	$0.65 /GPU/hr from $0.40	$0.13 /GPU/hr from $0.12	80% cheaper on A4500
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.61 (24 mo)	On request
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.27	-- /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 reserved and spot on the A40 and spot on the A4500: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
