Price comparison

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

Billing	K80	RTX PRO 5000
On-demand	-- /GPU/hr from $0.90	-- /GPU/hr from $0.63
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.04 (24 mo)	$0.74 /GPU/hr from $0.50 (24 mo)
Spot	No spot listings	-- /GPU/hr from $0.14

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 reserved on the K80 and 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.
