How these prices are collected
- What counts
- Only prices a provider publishes on a public pricing page or in its public price list, opened by the Census on the day shown. Marketplace offers, quotes and “contact sales” rows are not listed. Purchase prices are not listed at all.
- $ per GPU-hour
- The listed price per GPU-hour. Where a provider lists a price per instance, the Census divides it by the GPUs in that instance and shows the original figure under it. Nothing else is converted or estimated.
- Pricing types
- On-demand, spot (including tiers a provider calls preemptible or low-priority) and reserved with the term the provider states. Reserved rows without a stated term are not listed.
- Variants
- SXM, PCIe, NVL and similar versions are kept separate when the provider names them. A provider that does not name the variant is shown without one.
- Freshness
- Every listing carries a check date. 7 days after that date it is marked stale: still shown, but left out of “lowest” figures and the calculator’s default results.
- History
- Each daily run saves a snapshot, so the model pages can chart the lowest listed on-demand price over time and the change log can show what moved. History began Oct 15, 2026.
- Differences between providers
- Listed prices are not like for like: regions, minimum instance sizes, networking, storage, commitments and availability differ and are not priced here. Check the provider before relying on a figure.
Providers checked but not listed
- Google Cloud: The compute pricing pages (cloud.google.com/compute/gpus-pricing and vm-instance-pricing) showed no GPU prices when opened.
- RunPod: The pricing page shows two different sets of on-demand prices for the same GPUs (the visible cards and the page’s structured data), so no single listed price could be confirmed.
- Vast.ai: Its pricing page shows only relative claims ("50%+ cheaper"), no listed price. Marketplace prices change by offer.
- Voltage Park: Its pricing pages say "Contact for pricing" for every GPU; one homepage line says "Starting at $1.99/hr" without a GPU model or unit.
