Price comparison

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

Billing	H100	RTX PRO 5000	Difference
On-demand	$3.38 /GPU/hr from $1.60	-- /GPU/hr from $0.61
Reserved	$3.03 /GPU/hr from $1.53 (1 mo)	$0.70 /GPU/hr from $0.50 (24 mo)	77% cheaper on RTX PRO 5000
Spot	$2.46 /GPU/hr from $1.29	-- /GPU/hr from $0.17

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 on-demand and spot on the RTX PRO 5000: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
