Price comparison

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

Billing	A4500	L4	Difference
On-demand	$0.14 /GPU/hr from $0.13	$0.88 /GPU/hr from $0.32	84% cheaper on A4500
Reserved	On request	$0.52 /GPU/hr from $0.32 (36 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.07	$0.41 /GPU/hr from $0.14

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 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.
