SAN FRANCISCO, MAY 17, 2026 — Vast.ai maintains its lead in the H100 market, offering the h100-80gb-sxm at $2.29/hr, the cheapest available across all tracked providers.
The stability of GPU cloud rental prices is a welcome respite for machine learning engineers, who can now better plan their budgets and workflows without worrying about sudden cost fluctuations.
According to PriceGPU data, the current market prices reflect a mix of competition and optimization among providers, with some focusing on high-end GPUs like the H100 and others targeting the lower-end market with cheaper options like the RTX-3090.
PriceGPU tracking shows that Vast.ai’s $1.89/hr price for the h100-80gb-pcie undercuts the competition, while Fluidstack’s $1.85/hr price for the a100-80gb-sxm remains the best option for engineers preferring the A100 architecture; in contrast, Salad’s $0.24/hr price for the RTX-4090 is a bargain for those with less demanding workloads.
The lack of significant price changes since the last scrape indicates a period of market stability, allowing engineers to plan their GPU allocations with greater confidence and make more accurate cost projections for their projects.
Engineers looking to rent GPUs today can take advantage of Vast.ai’s competitive pricing on the h100-80gb-pcie and start training their models at $1.89/hr.
