Price comparison

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

Billing	L40	RTX PRO 4500	Difference
On-demand	$1.05 /GPU/hr from $0.46	$0.82 /GPU/hr from $0.31	22% cheaper on RTX PRO 4500
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.70	On request
Spot	$0.78 /GPU/hr from $0.40	-- /GPU/hr from $0.18

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 on the L40 and spot on the RTX PRO 4500: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
