GPU.ai vs Vast.ai
As of , GPU.ai and Vast.ai share 23 GPUs today, but on none do both list an on-demand rate: at least one side is community capacity or a marketplace floor, compared below and not counted. On the priciest shared card, NVIDIA B200: GPU.ai $6.79 (from) vs Vast.ai $7.51 (floor) per GPU-hour — not the same market, not counted. On other people's machines - community capacity and marketplace floors, a market of its own - GPU.ai lists the lower rate on 12 of the 23 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 Vast.ai, 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.
