Price comparison

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

Billing RTX 3050 RTX 3070 Ti Difference
On-demand -- /GPU/hr from $0.07 -- /GPU/hr from $0.10
Spot -- /GPU/hr from $0.03 -- /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 and spot on the RTX 3050 and on-demand and spot on the RTX 3070 Ti: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
