H100 Hits $2.29/hr

SAN FRANCISCO, JUNE 22, 2026 — Vast.ai maintains its position as the cheapest provider for the h100-80gb-sxm, offering it at $2.29/hr.

Engineers training large models on NVIDIA’s H100 GPUs continue to benefit from competitive pricing, which is being driven by the ongoing expansion of cloud infrastructure and the resulting increase in supply. This trend is particularly significant for researchers and developers working on projects that require substantial GPU resources, as it enables them to allocate their budgets more efficiently and explore more complex models.

According to PriceGPU data, the h100-80gb-pcie is currently available for $1.89/hr, also from Vast.ai, making it a more affordable option for those who do not require the SXM form factor. In contrast, the a100-80gb-sxm is priced at $1.85/hr from FluidStack, which may be a better choice for engineers working with older codebases or specific libraries that are optimized for the A100 architecture. Meanwhile, the rtx-4090 is available for $0.24/hr from Salad, which is an attractive option for developers who need to test and deploy smaller models or proof-of-concepts.

The lack of significant price changes since the last scrape indicates a stable market, which allows engineers to plan their budgets with greater confidence and make more informed decisions about their GPU rentals. With prices staying flat, researchers can focus on optimizing their models and workflows rather than worrying about fluctuating costs.

For engineers deciding what to rent today, they can take advantage of Vast.ai’s competitive pricing on the h100-80gb-pcie and rent it for $1.89/hr, providing a cost-effective solution for training and deploying large-scale models.
