H100 Hits $2.29/hr

SAN FRANCISCO, MAY 14, 2026 — Vast.ai now offers the h100-80gb-sxm at $2.29/hr, the cheapest available across 15 tracked providers.

The stability of GPU cloud rental prices is a welcome respite for machine learning engineers, who can now plan their budgets with greater confidence.

According to PriceGPU data, the lack of significant price fluctuations is largely driven by the current balance between supply and demand in the market, with providers like Vast.ai and Fluidstack competing aggressively on price while others like Salad focus on offering lower-end GPUs at extremely competitive rates.

PriceGPU tracking shows that Vast.ai’s $1.89/hr for the h100-80gb-pcie undercuts the competition, with the next cheapest option coming in at $2.15/hr from a different provider, while Fluidstack’s $1.85/hr for the a100-80gb-sxm is the lowest available for that particular model, and Salad’s $0.24/hr for the rtx-4090 is the cheapest option for engineers looking for a lower-end GPU.

The fact that prices have stayed flat since the last scrape is a significant factor for engineers planning their budgets, as it allows them to forecast their costs with greater accuracy and make more informed decisions about which GPUs to rent and for how long.

Engineers looking to rent a GPU today can take advantage of Vast.ai’s competitive pricing on the h100-80gb-pcie and start training their models at $1.89/hr.
