Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | L4 | RTX 2000 Ada | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.90 /GPU/hr from $0.32 | $0.24 /GPU/hr from $0.13 | 3.7x more expensive on L4 |
| Reserved | $0.52 /GPU/hr from $0.32 (36 mo) | On request | |
| Spot | $0.53 /GPU/hr from $0.14 | No spot listings |
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. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
