Price comparison

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

Billing	GH200	RTX 3080	Difference
On-demand	$3.87 /GPU/hr from $2.98	$0.17 /GPU/hr from $0.14	96% cheaper on RTX 3080
Spot	Sold out	-- /GPU/hr from $0.06

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 3080: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
