This is the weekly GPU rental price report from Lantern Works for the week of Nov 2, 2026. Every number below comes from two public feeds, fetched live on 2026-11-02 at 09:14 ET:

• gpu-prices.json: feed_updated_at 2026-11-02T12:59:30Z (2026-11-02 07:59 ET), 151 rates from 25 vendors
• gpu-price-changes.json: compares the daily snapshots dated 2026-11-01 and 2026-11-02

All prices are USD per GPU-hour and cover compute only, so they leave out storage, egress, extra vCPU/RAM and taxes. "Cheapest" means cheapest among the providers we track. Check the vendor's own page before you spend money. Price data is licensed CC BY 4.0 (attribution: Lantern Works).

What moved (2026-11-01 to 2026-11-02)

2 down, 27 up, 2 new, 1 removed.

Verda moved all 24 of its tracked rates up by 0.8% to 1.0% (on-demand and spot, from V100 to GB300); the table shows its top-end on-demand rows. Vast.ai's RTX PRO 6000 Server median barely changed ($1.7344 to $1.7337). Marketplace rows (Vast.ai, Spheron) are medians of host offers, so they swing more than list prices.

New listings: Vast.ai RTX PRO 6000 Max-Q 96GB at $2.1087 (Marketplace on-demand (verified)), Vast.ai V100 32GB at $0.1603 (Marketplace on-demand (verified)). Removed: Vast.ai RTX PRO 6000 Workstation 96GB (was $2.0385).

Same GPU, 100 hours: what the spread costs

For an H100 SXM 80GB on-demand, single GPU and non-interruptible, 100 hours costs $299.00 at Civo, compared with a $399.00 median and $484.10 at Verda (formerly DataCrunch). Across the 9 tracked rates that meet those rules, that is up to $185.10 of difference in compute alone.

Cheapest on-demand per GPU (non-interruptible)

Covers all 37 GPU variants with an on-demand rate in the feed, newest and largest first. "N-GPU minimum" means the vendor only sells that instance with N GPUs; the price is still per GPU.

Lambda's B200 rate is for an 8-GPU instance; its single-GPU B200 instance is $6.99.

Cheapest spot / interruptible per GPU

These instances can be preempted by the vendor, so they sit in their own table. Don't compare them directly with the on-demand rates above.

Cheapest community cloud per GPU

RunPod's Community Cloud runs on third-party hosts. The feed marks it as not interruptible, but it is a different service level from on-demand, so it gets its own table too.

Not ranked above: marketplace medians (Vast.ai, Clore.ai, Spheron), serverless per-second rates (Modal, Koyeb), reservations and commitments (Hyperstack, CloudRift) and monthly dedicated servers (Ucartz) are separate tiers. Held out of every table and of "What moved" (held_stale): Beam, Clore.ai, CloudRift, Runcrate, SimplePod and TensorDock. For Clore.ai and CloudRift only the flagged rows are held (thin Clore.ai markets, and CloudRift commitment rates no longer on its pricing page); their other live rows stay in the feed.
