Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | RTX 5090 | RTX 6000 Ada | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.68 /GPU/hr from $0.35 | $0.96 /GPU/hr from $0.47 | 30% cheaper on RTX 5090 |
| Reserved | $0.58 /GPU/hr from $0.21 (1 mo) | $1.05 /GPU/hr from $0.45 (1 mo) | 45% cheaper on RTX 5090 |
| Spot | $0.52 /GPU/hr from $0.10 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.27 |
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 spot on the RTX 6000 Ada: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
