Price comparison

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

Billing	L4	RTX 4080	Difference
On-demand	$0.84 /GPU/hr from $0.32	$0.24 /GPU/hr from $0.19	71% cheaper on RTX 4080
Reserved	$0.52 /GPU/hr from $0.32 (36 mo)	-- /GPU/hr from $0.24 (1 mo)
Spot	$0.29 /GPU/hr from $0.13	-- /GPU/hr from $0.11

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 reserved and spot on the RTX 4080: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
