B200 rental prices across providers

Where B200 rates sit

Providers with a current on-demand rate for the B200 SXM 192GB number 22. The lowest listed rate is $3.74 per GPU-hour, published by Shadeform, and the highest listed rate is $11.12. Each is a seller's cheapest on-demand list rate, read from its own pricing page, and a rate older than 21 days is hidden. Low and high are positions in a list, not a judgement of the sellers.

Kept running for a 730-hour month, the lowest rate comes to $2,730.20 per card. The sellers, their rates and the page each came from are on the B200 page.

A Blackwell card read by its seller count

The B200 is a Blackwell part with 192 GB of memory, against 141 GB on the H200. It sits beside the B300 and the GB200 in the Blackwell rows, and the Hopper cards it follows are the obvious rates to read it against.

Where few sellers list a card, each one carries more weight. The low and high ends are single pages, and when only one seller lists the card they are the same page. Reading the B200 range as a market price asks more of it than a handful of quotes can carry, so read the seller count before the rates.

For a seller entering early, that cuts both ways. A first listing at any rate becomes one end of the range on the day it is read, and on a short row it is seen beside few others. That is visibility, and it is also exposure: a typo or a per-node price read as per-GPU is the figure buyers see until it is corrected.

The memory arithmetic a B200 buyer does

A 70 billion parameter model in 16-bit needs about 140 GB for its weights, which fits on one 192 GB card with room left over. In 8-bit those weights halve to about 70 GB, and in 4-bit they halve again. The key-value cache and activations come on top, depend on context length and batch size, and have no single figure.

That arithmetic is why the memory size belongs in the product name. A page that says B200 without 192 GB leaves the reader to check the memory somewhere else.

The same applies to the form factor. The B200 here is the SXM part, and the GB200 is listed as a separate system under its own name. A seller offering either should name it so that the rate lands in the right row, because a rate in the wrong row is a rate no buyer searching for the card will find.

Reading the B200 rate against Hopper

The lowest listed H200 rate is $2.09 and the lowest listed H100 SXM rate is $1.68. A buyer pricing a move to Blackwell puts those beside $3.74. Nothing here says the B200 does more work per hour of rent, because we hold no benchmark data, so the comparison this site supports is price and memory, not throughput.

Hopper and later support 8-bit floating point arithmetic, so 8-bit serving is open on the B200, the H200 and the H100 alike. Memory per card and price per hour are what a buyer can set side by side from listed data, and the cost calculator turns any of these rates into a bill for a chosen number of hours.

A seller of both generations can use that. A page that explains when one B200 replaces more than one Hopper card for a given model size gives the reader a reason that a rate table alone does not give.

Checks for a B200 seller

Name the card in full: B200, SXM, 192 GB. Quote the rate per GPU per hour rather than per node. State the commitment beside the rate, because a reserved-term rate filed as on-demand will be either read as on-demand or left out, and neither helps the seller. Give the region too, if the rate is not the same everywhere you sell the card.

A B200 seller missing from the table should check whether the page can be read without signing in and whether the last good read falls within 21 days. A claimed listing lets a seller correct a figure read wrongly, and claiming a listing is free.

A rate at the top of the range ($11.12) or past it needs a line saying what the hour includes. Bundled CPU, memory and storage are a fair reason for a higher rate, and a reader sees the reason only if the page lists the parts.

Limits of an early B200 list

The table holds list rates and nothing else. It has no orders, no hours sold and no availability, so it cannot say whether a B200 at any rate is free today. Private contracts are outside it too, and there is no way to measure from public pages how much of the trade they account for.

Come back to the card page rather than quoting figures from here. The page renders current values each time it loads, and on a card with few sellers one new listing changes both the count and the range.

Read the count of sellers first, then the rates. A low count does not make the range wrong; it makes each end a statement about one seller's page on one date, which is what the source link beside every figure is there to show.
