Price comparison

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

Billing	A5000	RTX 2070	Difference
On-demand	$0.81 /GPU/hr from $0.16	$0.07 /GPU/hr from $0.06	92% cheaper on RTX 2070
Reserved	$0.35 /GPU/hr from $0.23 (3 mo)	No reserved listings
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.09	-- /GPU/hr from $0.02

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 A5000 and spot on the RTX 2070: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
