Price comparison
Cheapest listed price per GPU per hour by billing type, and the median across providers.
| Billing | H100 | RTX 3060 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $1.50 | $0.05 | 30x more expensive on H100 |
| Spot | $0.13 | $0.03 | 4.5x more expensive on H100 |
| Reserved | $1.53 | $0.11 | 14x more expensive on H100 |
| Median | $3.39 | $0.07 | 51x more expensive on H100 |
Median: Median across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one.
