Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX A6000	GB200	Difference
On-demand	$0.56 /GPU/hr from $0.35	$16.00 /GPU/hr from $10.50	96% cheaper on RTX A6000

Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.13	-- /GPU/hr from $27.04

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 RTX A6000 and reserved and spot on the GB200: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
