Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | A5000 | RTX PRO 6000 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $1.24 /GPU/hr from $0.23 | $2.18 /GPU/hr from $0.65 | 43% cheaper on A5000 |
| Reserved | -- /GPU/hr from $0.25 (24 mo) | $1.81 /GPU/hr from $0.48 (1 mo) | |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $0.09 | $1.29 /GPU/hr from $0.34 |
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.
