Questions

Where is the cheapest H100 NVL right now?

On 2026-10-11 the cheapest on-demand H100 NVL we track is $2.06 per GPU-hour at GPU.ai (1x h100-nvl · listed), about $1,483 a month per GPU. The market median across 6 providers is $2.80, so the cheapest listing is 26% below it.

Is spot cheaper?

Yes. The spot/interruptible median is $1.29 against $2.80 on-demand — 54% off — from 1 provider. The cheapest spot listing is $1.29 at Microsoft Azure. Spot can be taken away mid-job, which is why it never enters the headline median.

Why is the cheapest so far below the median?

Because the market is three markets. Marketplaces are independent hosts competing on price with consumer-grade uptime; neoclouds sell the GPU more directly; hyperscalers bundle CPU, RAM, network and an ecosystem into the instance price. The median sits where most providers sit; the cheapest listing is usually a marketplace host or a promotional neocloud rate. 3 of 6 providers are below the median today.

How often does this change?

Prices are re-read every six hours from each provider's own pricing and every snapshot is kept, so this page reflects the latest run and the history behind it. Recent cuts: GPU.ai -20.3% on 2026-10-11; Vast.ai -2.8% on 2026-10-11; GPU.ai -10.3% on 2026-10-10.
