Monthly figures are the live $/hr × 240h (8h/day) or × 720h (24/7). Whether renting beats buying depends on your own usage — the rent-vs-buy break-even walks through it honestly.

Prices have fallen 60–75% from their 2024 peak and still move week to week. We watch them hourly; you get the drops that matter, not the noise.
The Aliteq brief
The tech worth knowing — hardware, AI, gaming, deals. No spam, unsubscribe anytime.
Referral linkThe cheapest spot marketplace
A marketplace of independent hosts — usually the lowest $/hr anywhere, with reliability that varies by host. Best for interruptible work.
Managed pods + serverless
Predictable on-demand pods, one-click templates and per-second serverless — the easiest way to go from zero to a running GPU.
How to read this page
How often are these cloud GPU prices updated?
Hourly. Our worker pulls live offers from each provider's API and stores the minimum, 25th-percentile and median $/hr per GPU. The capture time is shown on the page — never quote a price without its timestamp.
Which cloud GPU providers are tracked?
2 today: Vast.ai (a spot marketplace of independent hosts — cheapest, variable reliability) and Runpod (managed on-demand pods and spot). We add providers only where a live, legally usable price API exists; we don't scrape.
What's the difference between spot and on-demand GPU pricing?
Spot (interruptible) capacity is cheaper but can be reclaimed by the provider mid-job — fine for inference and checkpointed training. On-demand is reserved while you run it and costs more. The table shows both where a provider offers them.
How is 'cheapest GPU that runs a model' calculated?
From each model's own config (layers, hidden size, heads) we compute the VRAM it needs at each quantisation at 16k context (bits-per-weight constants validated to a 0.7% median error), then pick the cheapest live-priced GPU it fits on. It is an estimate of fit and cost, not a benchmark.
Disclosure:provider links may be referral links — if you sign up through one we may earn a commission at no cost to you. That never changes the ranking: every price on this page is the live figure from the provider's API, cheapest first. Sponsored placements are labelled. Provider names and logos are their owners' trademarks, used to identify the services compared; no partnership or endorsement is implied. Prices are pulled hourly; VRAM fit is an estimate from each model's config, not a benchmark.
