Methodology

What the snapshot contains

• 55 GPU models with at least one published price.
• 23 cloud providers.
• 830 rentable configurations.
• 28 GPU comparison pages.
• 15 provider comparison pages.

Where the numbers come from

Prices, configurations and reported stock are collected every hour from the public APIs of Shadeform, Vast.ai, RunPod, Lium, QuantaCloud and Avian. We never copy another comparison site. Hardware specifications are the vendors' own published datasheet figures, kept verbatim, including which board variant each figure belongs to. Live GPU inventory counts come from the Lium marketplace API, which is one of the few platforms that publishes them.

We do everything we can to keep resellers out. Before we add a provider, we compare its machines, stock counts and prices with the platforms we already index. A provider that relists another cloud's machines at a markup is not indexed.

How each figure is defined

• Cheapest — the lowest published price per GPU per hour for that model, across every billing type.
• Median — the median of each provider's entry price. One provider, one vote, so a marketplace with 55 listings does not outweigh a cloud with one.
• Spread — how far the cheapest sits below the median, in percent.
• In stock — the provider reported availability at collection time. It is a signal, not a booking.
• Compute rates — dense figures without sparsity, because sparsity doubles the headline number and almost never the workload.
• Running cost — the hourly rate multiplied out. A month is 730 hours. Storage, egress and commitment discounts are excluded.

What we do not claim

• List price is not contract price. Anyone with a negotiated rate pays less than the figures here.
• Two instances of the same card are not equivalent. Host CPU, NUMA layout and network vary, and so does the time your job takes.
• A published price with no stock behind it is not an offer. That is why availability is shown next to every price rather than hidden.
• Where a vendor publishes no datasheet figure, the row stays empty. We do not fill it from a similar board.

Ordering and links

Tables are sorted by price. Outbound links to providers carry rel="sponsored nofollow" where a commercial relationship exists, and rel="nofollow" otherwise.

Requests to the JSON and Markdown endpoints under /api/ are logged with the IP address, country and user agent that made them, so we can see who uses the data. Each record is deleted automatically 90 days after it is written.

Some links on this site are referral links. If you sign up through one, the provider may pay us a commission. You pay the same price.
