| On-demand | $0.86 /GPU/hr from $0.32 | $0.69 /GPU/hr from $0.20 | 20% cheaper on T4 |
| Reserved | $0.51 /GPU/hr from $0.32 (36 mo) | $0.43 /GPU/hr from $0.20 (36 mo) | 17% cheaper on T4 |
| Spot | $0.29 /GPU/hr from $0.20 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.15 |
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 spot on the T4: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
