Price comparison

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

Billing RTX 4080 RTX 4090 Difference
On-demand $0.24 /GPU/hr from $0.20 $0.48 /GPU/hr from $0.33 50% cheaper on RTX 4080
Reserved -- /GPU/hr from $0.34 (6 mo) $0.52 /GPU/hr from $0.29 (1 mo)
Spot -- /GPU/hr from $0.11 $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 reserved and spot on the RTX 4080: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
