Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX 3090 Ti	RTX 4090	Difference
On-demand	$0.27 /GPU/hr from $0.19	$0.45 /GPU/hr from $0.33	40% cheaper on RTX 3090 Ti
Reserved	No reserved listings	$0.52 /GPU/hr from $0.29 (1 mo)
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.10	$0.33 /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 spot on the RTX 3090 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.
