H100 Hits $2.29/hr
SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 18, 2026 — Vast.ai now offers the H100-80GB-SXM for $2.29/hr, the lowest price across all 15 tracked providers.
PriceGPU tracking shows that this price point is a key benchmark for machine learning engineers, who rely on the H100’s high-performance capabilities for demanding workloads. The stability of H100 prices, in particular, is crucial for teams planning large-scale training and inference projects, as it allows them to budget with greater accuracy. With the H100-80GB-SXM now available for $2.29/hr, engineers can expect to pay significantly more than for the H100-80GB-PCIE, which Vast.ai also offers for $1.89/hr.
According to PriceGPU data, the price difference between the SXM and PCIE versions of the H100 is $0.40/hr, a significant gap that may influence engineers’ choices between these two options. In comparison, Fluidstack offers the A100-80GB-SXM for $1.85/hr, making it a more affordable alternative to the H100-80GB-SXM, while Modal’s A10G is available for $1.10/hr.
The lack of significant price changes since the last scrape indicates a stable market, which is good news for engineers planning their budgets, as they can rely on current prices to remain relatively consistent.
Engineers looking to rent a GPU today should consider the RTX-4090, available for $0.24/hr from Salad, or the L40S, which Fluidstack offers for $0.99/hr, as these options provide a good balance between performance and cost.
