Per single GPU-hour; node prices divided by GPU count. Tap a provider to open its source page. Vs. median compares every market against the median rate card above — a spot rate is cheaper because it can be taken back, not because the provider is cheaper. Risk is read off the market, not off the provider: spot and community capacity can be reclaimed mid-run, serverless is shared capacity, billed by the second, a shared GPU is a card other tenants use too, on-demand and committed capacity stays yours while it runs. Community capacity and shared GPUs never count as on-demand: they are out of every median and every “cheapest”. Since is the day that figure was first listed unchanged — for a quote we have never seen change, the day of our first read of it. 7d is the listed figure against the same quote seven days earlier; it appears once a quote has been read for a week.
How to read these figures
We read published price lists, not availability: a listed rate can be sold out, waitlisted or absent from the region you need, and whether a card is free to rent is not something we measure.
Oldest read behind these figures: , from this build’s own hourly run. A quote not read again within 48 hours leaves every figure.

Today’s GPU-hour
Median rate card per card: each provider once, at its cheapest on-demand rate, community capacity and marketplace floors out — the card median every page on this site prints. The H100 SXM is headed by the Price Index instead, which has rules of its own (USD listings only). $/GB divides it by the card’s memory; spread is the dearest rate over the cheapest, with a dot per provider between them.

History
No weekly history for the RTX A5000 yet: the reconstructed catalog series does not carry this card, and our own series is shorter than two weeks.
Buy vs rent
No retail median from three or more sellers for the RTX A5000, so no break-even is published.
Hyperscalers vs specialists
Hyperscalers do not list this card at all — the market belongs to the specialists.
The cost of not looking
Overpaying at 8 GPUs for the selected workload — dearest provider instead of cheapest. Every card against every provider: the spread table.

How it is computed
What we measure
Publicly listed rental prices for 53 GPU models (NVIDIA and AMD) at 63 providers — 709 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, printed with the run that produced it. 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.
709 quotes · 63 providers. Seven files under CC BY 4.0; history is stored append-only and never rewritten.
As of , the cheapest listed rate for the NVIDIA RTX A5000 is $0.16 per GPU-hour on RunPod (community, Community Cloud). The cheapest on-demand rate is $0.27 on RunPod (Secure Cloud). Across 5 providers, the median rate card — each provider’s cheapest on-demand rate, community capacity and marketplace floors out — is $0.44 per GPU-hour, and the middle half of those rate cards sits between $0.44 and $0.70. Between rate cards, on-demand rates for the same card run from $0.27 (RunPod) to $1.38 (Paperspace), 5.1× apart across 5 providers. By market, the cheapest listed rates are $0.16 on community capacity (RunPod) and $0.27 on-demand (RunPod). With 24 GB of VRAM, that is $0.011 per GB of memory per hour at the cheapest on-demand rate and $0.018 at the median.
Retail listings
No retail listings tracked for this card in the last 30 days.
Every rate in detail
One table per price type, never mixed: an on-demand rate and a spot rate answer different questions, and a marketplace floor is not a rate card. Prices are per GPU for one hour; the per-GB column divides by the card's 24 GB of VRAM.
