Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX 2080	RTX 3080 Ti
On-demand	-- /GPU/hr from $0.08	$0.18 /GPU/hr from $0.13
Reserved	No reserved listings	-- /GPU/hr from $0.12 (48 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.05	-- /GPU/hr from $0.08

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 and spot on the RTX 2080 and reserved and spot on the RTX 3080 Ti: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
