GPU Economy

Cheapest on-demand GPU rental, by provider type

For every GPU we track, the lowest publicly listed on-demand rate from each kind of provider: the 4 hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle), 15 specialist GPU clouds, and the marketplace (Vast.ai). Prices only — no ranking by opinion. A tag names the tier or scope; “GPU only” means CPU and memory are billed separately, “floor” means a marketplace offer that moves with supply.

As of , the cheapest listed on-demand rates are:

Which card for which job

The table does not tell you which GPU to rent; the card decides that, not the provider. As a rule of thumb from the numbers above: training and large fine-tunes need the memory of an H100, H200 or B200; smaller fine-tunes and most inference of 7–70B models fit an A100 80GB,L40S or RTX 6000 Ada; small-model inference, image generation and hobby work run on an L4, RTX 4090or RTX 5090. Within a card, the cheapest listed rate is usually a marketplace floor or a community tier; the hyperscaler rate is what you pay for the same card with enterprise contracts and regions around it.
