Price comparison
Cheapest listed price per GPU per hour by billing type, and the median across providers.
| Billing | A800 | P5000 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $1.18 | $0.78 | 34% cheaper on P5000 |
| Median | $1.18 | $0.78 | 34% cheaper on P5000 |
Median: Median across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one.
