How this list works

The two views

By provider shows one card per company, placed where its best offer ranked. By configuration lists every offer.

Order

What you can rent comes first: in stock, then waitlist, then not reported, then out of stock. Priced offers rank ahead of quote-only, and on-demand ahead of other billing types.

Within a group, five factors set the order:

  1. Location: datacenter proximity, blended with provider HQ.
  2. Price: hourly price, per GPU and in total.
  3. Billing type: reserved ahead of spot, spot ahead of quote-only.
  4. Specs: more VRAM, vCPUs and RAM.
  5. Provider diversity: a provider's repeat rows rank slightly lower, so one company can't take all the top spots.

Search

We match the provider, its country, GPU model, form factor, billing type, availability and instance name. Matching is partial and case-insensitive. Everyday words work too, so "interruptible" finds spot and "sold out" finds out of stock.

Transparency and funding

  • Ads and sponsors: Paid placements sit at the top of the list and are always labeled as sponsored content. Sponsorship never influences the organic ranking itself.
  • Affiliates: Affiliate links are marked. We may earn a commission if you click them, but commissions never affect the order.
  • Prices: Shown in USD, converted at daily reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. A month means 720 hours. How we estimate costs.

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. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.

What can the T4 run?

One T4 has 16 GB of VRAM. In practice, that's enough memory for roughly 8B parameters at 4-bit or 2B at 16-bit, assuming a 32K context. Below are some open-weight LLMs, with the estimated memory and GPUs each one needs.

Estimates based on the median on-demand rate. Memory is weights plus FP16/BF16 KV cache at 32K context per request. GPU counts assume 90% of advertised VRAM is usable. No guarantee of runtime support, usable performance, or that a matching quantized build exists. How we estimate costs.

Who has the cheapest T4?

The cheapest verified in-stock on-demand T4 tracked by GetDeploying is $0.07 per GPU per hour from Vast.ai. Cheapest verified in stock on other billing types: spot $0.05, also from Vast.ai.

How much does the T4 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one T4 costs an estimated $461 at the median on-demand price. Cheapest verified in stock: $50 per month on-demand, $36 spot.

Where can I rent a T4?

GetDeploying currently tracks T4 configs from 11 providers. Vast.ai and Zenlayer have verified in-stock on-demand configs. See the full price comparison above for every provider and config.

Are T4 prices going up or down?

As of September 16, 2026, the median on-demand price has fallen about 6% over the past 90 days to $0.64 per GPU per hour, though it is about 5% above where it was a year ago.

How many T4 GPUs do I need?

One T4 runs models up to roughly 8B parameters at 4-bit quantization or 2B at 16-bit, assuming a 32K context. Larger models run across multiple GPUs: the model table above shows the estimated memory and GPU count for popular open-weight LLMs.

Why choose the T4?

16GB GDDR6 in a 70W low-power form factor. Very low cost per hour across cloud providers. INT8 Tensor Cores for efficient inference on smaller models.

When is the T4 not a good fit?

Turing architecture lacks BF16 and FP8. 16GB VRAM limits model sizes. Slow for training. For production inference, the L4 offers significantly better throughput.
