Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX A6000	RTX 5070
On-demand	$0.63 /GPU/hr from $0.35	-- /GPU/hr from $0.17
Reserved	$0.54 /GPU/hr from $0.35	No reserved listings
Spot	$0.45 /GPU/hr from $0.40	-- /GPU/hr from $0.08

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 on-demand and spot on the RTX 5070: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
