Price comparison
Cheapest listed price per GPU per hour by billing type, and the median across providers.
| Billing | RTX 3080 | V100 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.10 | $0.11 | 12% cheaper on RTX 3080 |
| Spot | $0.06 | $0.06 | 6% cheaper on V100 |
| Reserved | $0.12 | $0.13 | Within 5% |
| Median | $0.16 | $0.97 | 6.1x more expensive on V100 |
Median: Median across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one.
