Price comparison

How we rank providers

Default ranking

Each provider appears once per GPU, ranked on three things in order:

  1. Availability: in stock, then waitlist, then unconfirmed, then out of stock. A price you can act on outranks a cheaper one you cannot.
  2. Billing type: on-demand rates rank ahead of spot and reserved ones. A spot rate is cheaper because it can be reclaimed, and a reserved rate because it is a commitment.
  3. Price: the lowest hourly price a provider charges for a single one of that GPU, with other currencies converted to USD first.

Providers that tie on price are sorted alphabetically.

Reserved rates are not separated by term length, so a multi-year commitment can rank above a one-month one. The term is shown beneath each price.

Transparency and funding

Ads and sponsors: Any paid placements are fixed at the top and labeled as sponsored content.

Affiliates: Any affiliate links will be indicated to you as well. We may earn a commission if you click them, but this never influences the ranking order.

Nvidia K80 logo K80 Pricing

The K80 is available at 2 cloud providers for $0.90/hr per GPU.

Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti logo RTX 2080 Ti Pricing

You can start using a RTX 2080 Ti for $0.07/hr per GPU (on-demand). It's a low-risk price point for smaller workloads compared to the market high of $0.33/hr. Spot instances start lower, at $0.05/hr per GPU.

Heads up: We do our best to keep these specs & prices accurate. However, cloud costs may fluctuate based on region, usage, and other factors not listed here. These are estimates based on common setups and are for informational purposes only. Always verify current rates & exact specs with the provider before provisioning.
