Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX 3060 Ti	RTX 5000	Difference
On-demand	$0.10 /GPU/hr from $0.06	$0.60 /GPU/hr from $0.10	83% cheaper on RTX 3060 Ti
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.08 (1 mo)	-- /GPU/hr from $0.09 (1 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.03	-- /GPU/hr from $0.05

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 and reserved and spot on the RTX 5000: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
