Cloud GPU market, April 2026
A review generated from the reconstructed SkyPilot-catalog history, not written by hand: 4 weekly points, week of April 6, 2026 to week of April 27, 2026. Second-hand data: we vouch that the catalog published each number on that date; every figure links to the exact commit. See the methodology for how the index is built.
Frozen on : these figures are the ones first published for April 2026 and are not recomputed as the data changes. If a later recomputation reads differently, the difference is listed at the end of the page with its date, and nothing above is replaced. Every month as data: /market/months.json.
In numbers
- At the end of April 2026, 6 providers listed an on-demand H100 SXM rate in the panel (6 quotes), against 7 a month earlier.
- The base-100 H100 index closed April 2026 at 70.2; it rose 3.7% from 67.7 at the end of March 2026, and stands below the base week of January 6, 2025 (= 100) by 29.8%. The index moves only when a provider’s listed price changes, never when the panel does.
- The dollar median stood at $3.49 per H100 GPU-hour across 6 providers, against $2.95 across 7 a month earlier. Read the median as a level with its panel size; a provider joining or leaving moves it.
- Largest rise: Lambda (europe-central-1) NVIDIA V100 from $0.55 to $0.79 per GPU-hour (+43.6%) in the week of April 6, 2026 (source).
- Cheapest listed on-demand rates in the week of April 27, 2026: NVIDIA H100 SXM $1.82 on Cudo Compute (no-kristiansand-1) (source); NVIDIA H200 $3.50 on Nebius (eu-north1) (source); NVIDIA B200 $5.49 on RunPod (CA) (source).
