Compare GPU Cloud Providers
Picking a cloud GPU is rarely about one provider being “best” — it's about which one is cheapest and actually in stock for the GPU you need. GPU Finder tracks live on-demand pricing and real-time availability across30 providers, so the same H100 or A100 can be compared head to head in one place. Prices for an identical GPU routinely vary 5-10x between clouds, which is exactly why a side-by-side comparison is worth a minute before you spin anything up. Looking for the lowest price per GPU-hour by model rather than a provider head-to-head? Use the cheapest cloud GPU table. Renting a whole server rather than a card? The 8x H100, 4x H100 and 8x H200 server-price pages compare whole-node rates and stock across every provider that sells that size.

These GPUs have the widest gap between the cheapest and priciest provider (1-GPU on-demand, across clouds that list at least three providers) — the models where shopping around pays off most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do GPU cloud prices vary so much between providers?
The same GPU can cost very different amounts depending on the provider's business model. Hyperscalers like AWS bundle enterprise support, compliance, and a full cloud ecosystem into their rates. Specialist and marketplace providers like Runpod, Vast.ai, and Lambda strip that overhead away, so the same chip can be 5-10x cheaper. Region, contract length, and spot-versus-on-demand also move the price.
Which is cheaper, Runpod or Lambda?
It depends on the GPU. Runpod is usually cheaper for consumer-grade cards like the RTX 4090 and offers community-cloud discounts, while Lambda is competitive on high-end H100 and A100 instances and charges no egress fees. Open the Lambda vs Runpod comparison for the current side-by-side numbers.
Do these comparisons include egress fees?
The per-hour prices shown are compute-only, but each head-to-head comparison page lists the providers' egress costs separately. Egress can add 10-20% to a data-heavy bill, so a provider with free egress (like Lambda) can be cheaper overall even when its hourly rate looks higher.
How often is pricing updated?
Pricing is refreshed daily and real-time availability is checked hourly across the providers we track, so the spreads and comparison tables reflect current rates rather than stale list prices.
