H100 vs V100: Cloud Pricing & Availability (2026)

When to pick which

• Pick the H100 for larger models or bigger batch sizes — its 80 GB of VRAM fits more without sharding across GPUs.
• The H100 is listed by more providers (21), so it's usually easier to find in stock.
• Over the last 7 days the H100 held ≥80% availability at a larger share of providers — the steadier pick if you need capacity on demand.
