Price comparison

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

Billing RTX 5000 T4 Difference
On-demand -- /GPU/hr from $0.60 $0.69 /GPU/hr from $0.20
Reserved No reserved listings $0.43 /GPU/hr from $0.20 (36 mo)
Spot No spot listings -- /GPU/hr from $0.15

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 on-demand on the RTX 5000 and spot on the T4: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
