Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX 2070	RTX 5090	Difference
On-demand	$0.07 /GPU/hr from $0.06	$0.69 /GPU/hr from $0.35	90% cheaper on RTX 2070
Reserved	No reserved listings	$0.59 /GPU/hr from $0.21 (1 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.02	$0.48 /GPU/hr from $0.25

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 RTX 2070: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
