Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | A4000 | RTX PRO 5000 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.18 /GPU/hr from $0.07 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.61 | |
| Reserved | $0.18 /GPU/hr from $0.06 (6 mo) | $0.70 /GPU/hr from $0.50 (24 mo) | 74% cheaper on A4000 |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $0.06 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.17 |
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 on-demand and spot on the RTX PRO 5000: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
