As of , Beam lists the lower on-demand rate on 8 of the 9 GPUs both offer on-demand; HexGrid wins on 1. On the priciest shared card both list on-demand, NVIDIA B200: Beam $4.11 vs HexGrid $7.50 (Secure Cloud) per GPU-hour on-demand — Beam is $3.39 (45%) cheaper.
Cloud GPU rental prices of Beam and HexGrid, compared per GPU-hour on the GPUs both list. Where a provider has several tiers or regions, its cheapest on-demand rate is used and labelled. Community capacity (RunPod Community Cloud) and marketplace floors are shown only where a provider has nothing else, and never decide which is cheaper.
