H100 Hits $2.29/hr
SAN FRANCISCO, AUGUST 8, 2026 — Vast.ai now offers the H100-80GB-SXM for $2.29/hr, the cheapest rate across all 15 tracked providers.
Engineers training large models on NVIDIA’s H100 GPUs benefit from Vast.ai’s competitive pricing, which undercuts other major cloud providers and on-premises hardware costs, making it an attractive option for teams looking to optimize their budgets without sacrificing performance.
According to PriceGPU data, the H100-80GB-SXM price point is particularly significant because it reflects the ongoing competition between cloud providers to offer the best value for high-end GPU resources, with Vast.ai and FluidStack consistently driving prices down across various GPU models.
PriceGPU tracking shows that Vast.ai’s $1.89/hr rate for the H100-80GB-PCIE is also the lowest among all providers, while FluidStack’s $1.85/hr rate for the A100-80GB-SXM is similarly unbeatable, and Salad.ai’s $0.24/hr rate for the RTX-4090 is the cheapest option for engineers working with this GPU model.
The lack of significant price changes since the last scrape indicates a period of relative market stability, which allows engineers to plan their budgets and resource allocations with greater confidence, knowing that prices are unlikely to fluctuate wildly in the short term.
For engineers deciding what to rent today, they should compare prices across multiple providers, such as Vast.ai, FluidStack, and Salad, to find the best value for their specific GPU needs and budget constraints.
