SAN FRANCISCO, MAY 25, 2026 — Vast.ai now offers the H100-80GB-SXM at $2.29/hr, the lowest price across 15 tracked providers.
PriceGPU tracking shows that this price point is a key benchmark for machine learning engineers, as the H100 series is widely used for high-performance computing workloads.
The stability of H100 prices, combined with the lack of significant changes in other GPU models, indicates a period of relative calm in the GPU cloud market, which is likely driven by a balance between supply and demand for these high-end GPUs.
According to PriceGPU data, Vast.ai’s $2.29/hr H100-80GB-SXM price undercuts other major providers, such as RunPod, which charges $2.49/hr for the same model, while FluidStack offers the A100-80GB-SXM at $1.85/hr, and Modal provides the A10G at $1.10/hr.
The fact that prices have stayed flat since the last scrape is significant for engineers planning their budgets, as it allows them to make more accurate predictions about their costs, without worrying about sudden price spikes or drops.
With current prices holding steady, an engineer looking to rent a high-performance GPU today can consider Vast.ai’s H100-80GB-SXM at $2.29/hr or FluidStack’s A100-80GB-SXM at $1.85/hr as viable options for their machine learning workloads.
