Price comparison

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

Billing	RTX 4090	RTX 5060 Ti	Difference
On-demand	$0.45 /GPU/hr from $0.33	$0.15 /GPU/hr from $0.08	67% cheaper on RTX 5060 Ti
Reserved	$0.52 /GPU/hr from $0.29 (1 mo)	-- /GPU/hr from $0.11 (48 mo)
Spot	$0.33 /GPU/hr from $0.16	-- /GPU/hr from $0.07

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 5060 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.
