Price comparison
Cheapest listed price per GPU per hour by billing type, and the median across providers.
| Billing | RTX 5000 | RTX 6000 Ada | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.60 | $0.65 | 8% cheaper on RTX 5000 |
| Reserved | No reserved listings | $1.04 | |
| Median | $0.71 | $1.04 | 32% cheaper on RTX 5000 |
Median: Median across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one.
