Cloud GPU price index: what a GPU-hour actually costs
A dated, downloadable record of GPU rental prices: the public marketplace median for 83 NVIDIA models, our fixed rates against it, how each median has moved over 90 days, and the public list prices of 34 other providers. Free to reuse with attribution.
The index: all 83 models
USD per GPU-hour. Market median is the public marketplace reference at snapshot 2026-10-19; the 90-day column is the movement of that median, not of our price.

Change in the public marketplace median over the last 90 days, with the observed range. Our price is a fixed ratio of the median, so it moves with this column and never above 70% of it.

What the numbers are, precisely
- Market median — the middle on-demand hourly rate for that GPU model across a large public marketplace of independent hosts, at snapshot 2026-10-19.
- LowCostGPU rates — median × 0.70 rounded down (on-demand), × 0.50 (interruptible), × 0.65 (reserved). Live from the sheet.
- Provider list prices — on-demand, per GPU-hour, before taxes, from each provider's public pricing page on the date shown. Never estimated.
- 90-day change — seven-day average of the median now versus the seven-day average ninety days earlier.
- Month — 730 hours at the on-demand rate, GPU only, before storage and bandwidth.

GPU price index FAQ
Per-model detail sits on each GPU page; provider-by-provider context on the alternatives pages.
What is in the LowCostGPU GPU price index?
For each of the 83 NVIDIA GPU models in the catalogue: the public GPU marketplace median hourly rate (snapshot 2026-10-19), LowCostGPU's three fixed rates, the resulting discount, a 730-hour monthly cost, the 90-day movement of the market median, and the public on-demand list prices of 34 other GPU providers with the date each was read. It is published as a table, as CSV and as JSON.
Can I reuse this data?
Yes, under CC BY 4.0: use it, republish it, chart it, as long as you attribute LowCostGPU and link to https://lowcostgpu.com/gpu-price-index. The CSV and JSON endpoints are stable URLs and carry the snapshot date, so a citation stays verifiable after the numbers move.
How current is the index?
The market reference carries the snapshot date 2026-10-19 and is re-checked weekly. LowCostGPU prices in the table are live from the sheet as the page renders. Competitor list prices carry their own reading date per row, because providers change them on their own schedule.
Which GPU has fallen the most in price?
The 90-day column tracks the market median for each model, from 137 days of daily observations. Over the current window 14 of 83 models have a cheaper median than three months ago and 51 are dearer. Because LowCostGPU prices are a fixed ratio of that median, they follow it down.
Are competitor prices comparable line for line?
Approximately. Configurations differ — node sizes, secure versus community tiers, regions, committed terms — so each figure carries a note saying which offer is quoted. They are on-demand list prices per GPU-hour before taxes, taken from each provider's own public pricing page, never estimated and never adjusted.
