Frequently asked

How much does an A100-SXM-40GB cost per hour right now?
$1.58 an hour at Verda (DataCrunch), the cheapest of 2 sellers we read. The dearest posts $1.99 at Lambda. Every rate links to the page it was read from, with the date it was read.
Why do A100-SXM-40GB prices vary 1.3× between providers?
Because a GPU-hour is not one product. $1.58 at Verda (DataCrunch) and $1.99 at Lambda buy different things: interconnect, host CPU and RAM, storage, egress, support, and whether the capacity is dedicated or shared. We publish the posted rate for each and the page it came from, and do not blend them into one number.
SXM vs PCIe — does it matter for the price?
Yes, and we hold both. A100-SXM-40GB starts at $1.58 an hour; A100-PCIE starts at $0.74 — cheaper by $0.84. The form factor changes how cards talk to each other, which matters for multi-GPU training and matters much less for single-card inference.
What is the cheapest way to rent an A100-SXM-40GB long-term?
We hold no committed or reserved rate for this card — every figure here is an on-demand posted rate. Committed pricing is usually quoted rather than published, so the honest answer is that we cannot tell you, rather than a guess at a discount.
How fresh are these prices?
These rates were read between 2026-10-26 and 2026-10-27. Nothing older than 21 days is shown: a reading that goes stale is hidden rather than displayed with an old date, because a wrong price is worse than a missing one. Each row links to the page its figure came from, so any of them can be checked against the seller.
Which is cheaper for an A100-SXM-40GB — a region or a commitment?
Both move the number and they move it independently. Where a provider prices the same card in several regions we show the cheapest they charge anywhere and name the region, because a rate you can only get in Estonia is still a rate you can get. A committed term is a different contract rather than a discount on this one, so committed rates are kept out of the headline and shown separately.
Can a provider pay to be listed first for the A100-SXM-40GB?
No. The table has one stated sort at a time and nothing in it can be bought — a sponsor cannot enter it, reorder a row or change a rate. How the site is paid for, and the line each source of money does not cross, is set out under money and independence at /our-data#sec5.
