Price comparison

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

Billing	GTX 1660 Super	L40S	Difference
On-demand	$0.05 /GPU/hr from $0.04	$1.40 /GPU/hr from $0.38	96% cheaper on GTX 1660 Super
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.06 (1 mo)	$1.10 /GPU/hr from $0.60 (12 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.02	$1.06 /GPU/hr from $0.40

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 GTX 1660 Super: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
