How to check a compute price in five minutes

Find how the price is billed: by the second, the minute or the hour. It is on the pricing page or in the billing documentation. If you cannot find it, write hourly with a question mark.

Note any minimum charge for each start, and whether boot time is billed.

Find how many GPUs you must take and for how long. A per-GPU figure inside an 8-GPU machine means eight times the figure every hour. A price that needs a month paid ahead is not an hourly price.

Write the hourly total for the smallest rental, not the per-GPU figure.

Open the console or the stock page and try. You will meet one of four answers: it starts, there are none free, you must talk to sales, or your account needs a quota raise.

Only the first is a price you can use today. This site labels the others No GPUs, Gated and Quota.

Look up the price of storage that outlives the machine and of data leaving the provider. Check whether the CPU cores, memory and local disk are in the GPU price.

You do not need the exact figures yet. You need to know which lines exist.

Record the provider, the GPU, the smallest rental, the unit, the hourly total, what happened when you tried to start it, and the date. Without the date the record is worthless in a week.

Do the same for each option. The tables on this site are that record for the GPUs it covers. On 12 Nov 2026, 11 providers listed a B300, from $6.60 to $18.12 per GPU-hour.

A price passes when you can state it in one line with no question marks: this GPU, this count, this unit, this hourly total, started on this date. Anything less is a listing, not a price.
