GPU.ai vs RunPod
As of , GPU.ai lists the lower on-demand rate on 9 of the 23 GPUs both offer on-demand. Not counted: 5 more shared GPUs, on community capacity or a marketplace floor. On the priciest shared card both list on-demand, NVIDIA B300: GPU.ai $7.89 vs RunPod $7.89 (Secure Cloud) per GPU-hour on-demand — identical. On other people's machines - community capacity and marketplace floors, a market of its own - GPU.ai lists the lower rate on 10 of the 24 shared GPUs. Compared apart ↓

Community capacity and marketplace floors, per GPU-hour
Capacity on other people's machines, compared on its own: a community rate is a fixed list price for a machine a third party hosts; a marketplace floor is the median of the five cheapest verified offers at the time of reading, and moves with supply. Either can be taken back sooner than an on-demand rate card, and neither enters the verdict above or any median.

How this is compared
Cloud GPU rental prices of GPU.ai and RunPod, 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.
