H100 Hits $2.29/hr
SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 28, 2026 — Vast.ai now offers the H100-80GB-SXM at $2.29/hr, the lowest price across all 15 tracked providers.
PriceGPU tracking shows that this price point is a result of ongoing competition among cloud providers to attract machine learning engineers and researchers. The stability of prices across the board indicates a mature market where providers are focusing on optimizing their offerings rather than engaging in price wars. This means that engineers can now make more informed decisions about which GPUs to use for their workloads, based on factors such as performance, memory, and cost.
According to PriceGPU data, the H100-80GB-PCIE is available for $1.89/hr, also on 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 on FluidStack, which may be a more attractive option for engineers working with specific workflows that are optimized for this hardware. The RTX-4090, on the other hand, is available for $0.24/hr on Salad, making it a budget-friendly choice for less demanding workloads.
The lack of significant price changes since the last scrape suggests that the market has reached a state of equilibrium, with providers having adjusted their prices to reflect the current demand and supply. This stability is good news for engineers and researchers who can now plan their budgets with more certainty, knowing that prices are unlikely to fluctuate wildly in the short term.
With prices holding steady, an engineer looking to rent a GPU today can consider the H100-80GB-SXM on Vast.ai at $2.29/hr as a viable option for demanding workloads, or explore more budget-friendly alternatives like the RTX-4090 on Salad at $0.24/hr for less intensive tasks.
