Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | RTX 4000 Ada | RTX 5000 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.51 /GPU/hr from $0.20 | $0.60 /GPU/hr from $0.09 | 15% cheaper on RTX 4000 Ada |
| Reserved | -- /GPU/hr from $0.18 (3 mo) | No reserved listings | |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $0.13 | -- /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 4000 Ada 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.
