Read before comparing
Rankings are the cheapest among tracked providers on our check date, not across the whole market. Vendors we don't track may cost less.
GPU-hours vs wall-clock time
Prices are per GPU-hour: one GPU for one hour. Four GPUs for 10 wall-clock hours is 40 GPU-hours. Per-second billing (serverless) charges only while your code runs; hourly pods bill from start to stop, idle time included; monthly servers bill a flat price whatever you use. A faster GPU can finish the same job in fewer GPU-hours, so the lowest hourly rate isn't always the lowest cost per job.
Hardware differences
The same GPU name can mean different hardware. SXM modules link GPUs over NVLink and run at higher power limits than PCIe cards, so an H100 SXM is usually faster than an H100 PCIe, especially for multi-GPU training. Interconnect between GPUs and nodes (NVLink, InfiniBand, plain Ethernet) is rarely listed on pricing pages; treat it as unknown unless the vendor states it. VRAM decides which models fit at all. Hardware as listed: A100 80 GB (not stated); A100 PCIe 40 GB (PCIe); A100 PCIe 80 GB (PCIe); A100 PCIe 80 GB (not stated); A100 SXM 40 GB (SXM); A100 SXM 80 GB (SXM); A100 SXM 80 GB (not stated).
Egress and storage extras
Totals on this page exclude these. Each cell cites the vendor page it came from; "Not published" means the vendor doesn't publish it there.

Interruptible vs on-demand
Interruptible (preemptible or spot) capacity can be stopped by the vendor mid-job and is usually cheaper; on-demand runs until you stop it. Interruptible (preemptible) rates listed here: Hyperstack A100 PCIe, Modal A100, Verda (formerly DataCrunch) A100 SXM. All other rates are on-demand: the vendor doesn't publish preemption for them.
FAQ
What is the cheapest A100 among tracked providers per hour?
