Cheapest A100 rental.
prices as of · re-ranked daily · 21 qualifying machines
The A100 is the generation before the H100 and it is still the cheapest way to hold a large model in one board's memory. 21 configurations qualify, on the 40 GB and 80 GB boards in both packages, from $1.19/GPU-hr. The 80 GB board fits a 70-billion-parameter model in 8-bit weights; the 40 GB one does not, so read the memory column before the price. Prices are the on-demand rate for one GPU for one hour, in each provider's own currency converted to dollars, so a node with eight GPUs is ranked at what one of its GPUs costs. Storage, egress and tax are extra unless the row says otherwise.

The number beside each machine is what one of its GPUs costs for one hour. The whole machine bills $1.19/hr at the top of this list, and more or less further down in proportion to how many GPUs it holds, so read the configuration before the rate: $1.19 a GPU-hour on an eight-GPU node is eight times that on the invoice.
Frequently asked
- What is the cheapest of the A100 rentals right now?
- A100 PCIe · Community Cloud at RunPod, $1.19/GPU-hr. The whole machine bills $1.19/hr, and it is 1x A100 80GB PCIe. Read on 17 Sept 2026.
- Which provider shows up most in this ranking?
- Verda (DataCrunch) holds 6 of the top 10 places here.
- What does the price actually cover?
- The on-demand rate for one GPU for one hour, in the provider's own currency converted to dollars. Storage, egress and tax are extra unless the row says otherwise, and reserved or committed rates are never indexed here: a price that needs a month's commitment is not a standard recurring rate, and it would beat every on-demand rate on this page.
- How is this ranked, and how current is it?
- Prices are read every morning from 10 providers' own public pages and keyless APIs, and this list recomputes with them. A machine whose provider was last read more than three days ago, or that the provider shows as unavailable, keeps its place but cannot be first. Last refresh: 17 Sept 2026.
