Renting the L4 for a year or more?
The cheapest committed L4 rate each provider publishes, by term. A commitment is paid whether the GPU runs or not.
| Term | Per GPU-hour | Provider | vs its on-demand |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-year | $0.35 read | Google Cloud us-east4 cheapest of 2 providers | −37% ($0.56) |
| 3-year | $0.25 read | Google Cloud us-east4 | −55% ($0.56) |
Across every card, a 1-year rate runs a median −15% against the same provider’s on-demand rate (7 providers); a 3-year rate −30% (5 providers). Every committed rate, card by card.
Get quotes for the L4. A person at GPU Economy reads your request and passes it to up to three providers that list a rate for the card, the cheapest listed first; the quotes come from them, directly to you.
We may be paid a fee if a request becomes a contract; who receives it follows the listed rates, never a fee, and it changes no published rate or the Price Index (how, privacy).
As of , the cheapest listed rate for the NVIDIA L4 is $0.25 per GPU-hour on Google Cloud (3-year, us-east4). The cheapest on-demand rate is $0.27 on Hikube (GPU only). Across 21 providers, the median rate card — each provider’s cheapest on-demand rate, community capacity and marketplace floors out — is $0.80 per GPU-hour, and the middle half of those rate cards sits between $0.57 and $0.85. Between rate cards, on-demand rates for the same card run from $0.27 (Hikube) to $1.17 (Neysa), 4.3× apart across 21 providers. By market, the cheapest listed rates are $0.34 on community capacity (Vast.ai, floor), $0.27 on-demand (Hikube, GPU only), $0.35 on a 1-year commitment (Google Cloud, GPU only) and $0.25 on a 3-year commitment (Google Cloud, GPU only). On a single rate card, Google Cloud (us-east4) lists it at $0.56 on-demand, $0.35 on a 1-year commitment and $0.25 on a 3-year commitment: a commitment is paid whether the GPU runs or not. With 24 GB of VRAM, that is $0.011 per GB of memory per hour at the cheapest on-demand rate and $0.033 at the median.

Dated pieces on the NVIDIA L4: — Four EU clouds first read October 8-9, 2026: L4 from $0.27, H100 $9.01. Each is frozen as of its date.
As of , one provider prices the NVIDIA L4 on-demand as a unit of 2 GPUs: $2.09 per unit-hour (Sesterce, $1.04 per GPU). 2 GPUs at the cheapest on-demand rate ($0.27 on Hikube, GPU only) come to $0.55 an hour, where a provider rents 2 to one account and they need not share a unit. A unit price is what the provider quotes for the 2 GPUs together; whether it also rents one is not part of the quote.
How it is computed
What we measure
Publicly listed rental prices for 79 GPU models (NVIDIA and AMD) at 99 providers — 1167 current quotes across seven markets — and the retail price of the cards.
Where it comes from
Each provider's own pricing page or API; retail from reseller pages. Every figure links back to its source.
How it is normalised
Node prices are divided by GPU count, per-second rates multiplied out, a price listed in another currency shown as listed, beside its USD figure at the dated official rate (ECB; the Bank of Russia for RUB and VND). A reservation published as a total for its term is divided by the hours in that term, 8,760 per year.
What is modelled, not measured
One figure: cost per million output tokens, a listed rate divided by the throughput NVIDIA published for that card, published with the run that produced it in /token-cost.json, not on this page. Risk is not a model — it is read off the market a quote is from.
What we never do
Never estimate a price, never convert a currency silently, never publish a number a reader cannot verify on the linked page.
1167 quotes · 99 providers. Seven files under CC BY 4.0; history is stored append-only and never rewritten.
