Price comparison
Cheapest listed price per GPU per hour by billing type, and the median across providers.
| Billing | L4 | RTX 2080 Ti | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.31 | $0.07 | 4.6x more expensive on L4 |
| Spot | $0.13 | $0.06 | 2.2x more expensive on L4 |
| Reserved | $0.32 | $0.07 | 4.5x more expensive on L4 |
| Median | $0.90 | $0.09 | 9.6x more expensive on L4 |
Median: Median across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one.
