Price comparison

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

Billing	P4	V100
On-demand	-- /GPU/hr from $0.65	$0.99 /GPU/hr from $0.09
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.34 (36 mo)	$1.51 /GPU/hr from $0.12 (1 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.11	$0.40 /GPU/hr from $0.06

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 on-demand, reserved and spot on the P4: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
