H100 Hits $2.29/hr
SAN FRANCISCO, JUNE 21, 2026 — Vast.ai maintains its lead with the cheapest H100-80GB-SXM at $2.29/hr, a price point that has held steady despite expectations of increased competition.
The stability of high-end GPU prices is largely driven by the ongoing balance between supply and demand in the cloud rental market, where engineers are constantly weighing the need for raw processing power against the constraints of their budgets. As machine learning workloads continue to grow in complexity, the demand for high-performance GPUs like the H100 and A100 has increased, but so has the supply, with more providers entering the market and existing ones expanding their offerings.
According to PriceGPU data, the H100-80GB-PCIE is currently available for $1.89/hr from Vast.ai, while the A100-80GB-SXM can be rented for $1.85/hr from FluidStack, making these two options highly competitive for engineers looking for a balance between price and performance. In contrast, the RTX-4090 is available for $0.24/hr from Salad, which may be a more attractive option for those with less demanding workloads or tighter budgets.
The lack of significant price changes since the last scrape indicates a high level of market stability, which is good news for engineers and organizations planning their budgets for the coming quarter. With prices staying flat, they can more accurately forecast their costs and make informed decisions about which GPUs to rent and for how long, without having to worry about sudden price spikes or drops.
Engineers deciding what to rent today should consider the H100-80GB-PCIE from Vast.ai at $1.89/hr as a high-performance option that offers excellent value for its price, given its current market position and the stability of prices across the major providers.
