Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX 3080	RTX PRO 6000	Difference
On-demand	$0.15 /GPU/hr from $0.10	$2.18 /GPU/hr from $0.65	93% cheaper on RTX 3080
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.13 (3 mo)	$1.82 /GPU/hr from $0.48 (1 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.06	$1.19 /GPU/hr from $0.34

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 3080: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
