H100 Hits $2.29/hr

SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 26, 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.

PriceGPU tracking shows that the H100’s consistent pricing is driven by a delicate balance between supply and demand, as machine learning engineers continue to rely on this GPU model for training and inference workloads, and providers are careful not to rock the boat with drastic price changes, which could disrupt the budgets of their customers.

According to PriceGPU data, the H100-80GB-SXM at $2.29/hr is still the most expensive option for engineers, but the H100-80GB-PCIE is available for $1.89/hr, also from Vast.ai, offering a more affordable alternative for those who don’t require the SXM form factor, while Fluidstack leads the pack with the A100-80GB-SXM at $1.85/hr, making it a viable option for engineers looking for a slightly older but still capable GPU model.

The lack of significant price changes since the last scrape means that engineers can breathe a sigh of relief when planning their budgets, as they can rely on stable prices from providers like Vast.ai, Fluidstack, and others, with the RTX-4090 available for as low as $0.24/hr from Salad, and the L40S at $0.99/hr from Fluidstack, providing a range of options for different use cases and budgets.

With prices holding flat, engineers can focus on optimizing their workflows and choosing the best GPU for their specific needs, rather than constantly monitoring price fluctuations, and for those looking to rent a GPU today, they can consider the A100-80GB-SXM from Fluidstack at $1.85/hr as a cost-effective option for their machine learning workloads.
