Beam vs Lambda
As of , Beam lists the lower on-demand rate on 4 of the 4 GPUs both offer on-demand. On the priciest shared card both list on-demand, NVIDIA B200: Beam $4.11 vs Lambda $6.69 per GPU-hour on-demand — Beam is $2.58 (39%) cheaper.
Cloud GPU rental prices of Beam and Lambda, 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.
