H100 Hits $2.29/hr
SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 11, 2026 — Vast.ai maintains its lead with the cheapest H100-80GB-SXM at $2.29/hr, a price that has held steady since the last market scrape.
Engineers training large models continue to face a relatively stable market, with prices for high-end GPUs like the H100 and A100 holding firm, driven by consistent demand from cloud-based machine learning workloads and a steady supply of available hardware.
According to PriceGPU data, the H100-80GB-SXM at $2.29/hr and the H100-80GB-PCIE at $1.89/hr, both offered by Vast.ai, are currently the most competitive options for engineers requiring high-end NVIDIA hardware, while Fluidstack’s A100-80GB-SXM at $1.85/hr presents a compelling alternative for those prioritizing price over specific GPU architecture.
PriceGPU tracking shows that the RTX-4090 is available for $0.24/hr from Salad, significantly cheaper than the H100 or A100 options, and the L40S can be rented for $0.99/hr from Fluidstack, highlighting the diversity of choices available to engineers depending on their specific workload requirements and budget constraints.
The lack of significant price changes since the last scrape indicates a stable market, which allows engineers to plan their budgets with greater certainty, knowing that prices are unlikely to fluctuate wildly in the short term.
Engineers looking to rent a GPU today can take advantage of Vast.ai’s competitive pricing on the H100-80GB-PCIE at $1.89/hr, making it an attractive option for those seeking a balance between performance and cost.
