Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX 3060 Ti	RTX 4090	Difference
On-demand	$0.08 /GPU/hr from $0.05	$0.44 /GPU/hr from $0.23	5.2x more expensive on RTX 4090
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.10 (3 mo)	$0.46 /GPU/hr from $0.27 (12 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.02	$0.17 /GPU/hr from $0.16

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 reserved and spot on the RTX 3060 Ti: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
