Price comparison

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

Billing	P100	RTX 2080
On-demand	$1.51 /GPU/hr from $1.27	-- /GPU/hr from $0.08
Reserved	$1.04 /GPU/hr from $0.22 (24 mo)	No reserved listings
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.63	-- /GPU/hr from $0.05

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 P100 and on-demand and spot on the RTX 2080: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
