Price comparison

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

Billing	B200	RTX 3090	Difference
On-demand	$6.25 /GPU/hr from $3.75	$0.31 /GPU/hr from $0.10	95% cheaper on RTX 3090
Reserved	$6.71 /GPU/hr from $3.75	-- /GPU/hr from $0.06 (1 mo)
Spot	$4.25 /GPU/hr from $4.18	-- /GPU/hr from $0.09

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 RTX 3090: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
