Price comparison

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

Billing	A4000	A5000	Difference
On-demand	$0.21 /GPU/hr from $0.07	$0.75 /GPU/hr from $0.21	73% cheaper on A4000
Reserved	$0.18 /GPU/hr from $0.06 (6 mo)	$0.35 /GPU/hr from $0.19 (1 mo)	49% cheaper on A4000
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.06	-- /GPU/hr from $0.09

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 A4000 and spot on the A5000: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
