Price comparison

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

Billing	A5000	B300	Difference
On-demand	$1.24 /GPU/hr from $0.23	$8.20 /GPU/hr from $4.99	85% cheaper on A5000
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.25 (24 mo)	$6.25 /GPU/hr from $4.25
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.09	$5.55 /GPU/hr from $4.08

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 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.
