Price comparison

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

Billing	A5000	RTX PRO 6000D
On-demand	$1.31 /GPU/hr from $0.25	-- /GPU/hr from $0.97
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.24 (24 mo)	No reserved listings
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.09	No spot listings

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 and on-demand on the RTX PRO 6000D: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
