How GPUfinder Works

What this is

GPUfinder indexes GPU cloud pricing and availability across 28 providers so you can find the cheapest instance without opening 28 browser tabs. Prices update daily. Availability from 14 provider APIs updates every 30 minutes. No ads, no sponsored placements. Rankings based on price and availability data only.

How the data works

Built on open data

On-demand and spot pricing for 24 of the 28 providers comes from the SkyPilot catalog (Apache 2.0). The same upstream feed powers the SkyPilot GPU Compass; their team links to GPU Finder as a sibling dashboard built on the same open catalog.

What GPU Finder adds on top of the catalog: real-time stock checks via direct provider APIs (14 today), 7-day reliability scores derived from those checks, manually researched egress costs, and per-provider / per-GPU landing pages. The catalog itself doesn't track availability or egress.

Methodology

Name normalization

Provider APIs use inconsistent GPU names — “A100-80G”, “a100-80gb”, and “A100 SXM 80GB” all mean the same chip. We normalize names to a canonical model list before matching. If a provider's GPU name doesn't match cleanly, it's flagged for manual review rather than silently misclassified.

Ranking

Results sort by on-demand price per hour, ascending. No provider pays for placement. Sorting is deterministic — same data, same order, every time. Some provider links are referral links — we may earn a small commission if you sign up. This does not affect rankings or which providers are shown. See how this works in practice on our H100 pricing page or AWS vs Lambda comparison.

Availability

“Available” means the provider's API reported stock at the last check. It is not a reservation — high-demand GPUs can go from available to exhausted between our 30-minute poll and your request. Providers without availability APIs show pricing only.

Limitations

• Prices shown are published list prices. Committed, reserved, and negotiated enterprise rates are not compared.
• Egress costs are manually researched from provider pricing pages. Verify before large data transfers.
• We don't run test workloads, benchmark throughput, or verify SLAs. We show what providers publish.
• SkyPilot catalog updates daily. If a provider changed prices in the last 24 hours, there may be a lag.

Who built this

Alexander Salikov. Head of External Solutions at Nebius (one of the listed providers), based in London. Built this to scratch my own itch comparing GPU prices across providers. Nebius data comes from the same SkyPilot source as every other provider — no special treatment.

FAQ

Is GPU Finder the same as GPUFindr?

No. GPU Finder (gpufinder.dev) is a different tool from GPUFindr (gpufindr.com), which is run by a different team. We track 28 cloud GPU providers with real-time availability from 15 provider APIs, egress costs, and 7-day reliability scores. Built and maintained by Alexander Salikov in 2026.

Why is a provider missing?

Either they don't publish machine-readable pricing, or the fetcher hasn't been built yet. Let us know which provider you need.

Prices don't match the provider's site

Pricing data updates daily via SkyPilot. If you spot a discrepancy, the provider likely changed prices recently and SkyPilot hasn't caught it yet. Please let us know.

Availability says “Available” but I can't launch

API-reported availability is not a reservation. High-demand GPUs can go from available to exhausted between our 30-minute poll and your request. Check the provider's console directly for current status.

How do I report bad data?

If you spot incorrect pricing, a missing provider, or a data issue, email us. We typically investigate within 24 hours.
