A100 Price History (daily)
The daily A100 price series has one captured day so far: on 14 September 2026 the cheapest on-demand A100 was $0.68 per GPU-hour across 7 providers with stock. A row is added each day.
| Date (UTC) | Cheapest $/GPU-hr | Median $/GPU-hr | Offers in stock | Providers with stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.68 | $1.74 | 51 | at least 7 |
One row per captured day (00:05 UTC). Cheapest is the lowest secure on-demand price per GPU-hour reported in stock by a provider with live stock tracking; median is the median of those offers. Rows combine 4 A100 models (a100-pcie-40gb, a100-pcie-80gb, a100-sxm-40gb, a100-sxm-80gb): cheapest is the lowest across them, median is the median of the per-model medians, and the provider count is the largest single-model count, so it is a floor. Days without a capture are not shown. Method and full series: Cloud GPU Price Index.
A100 Price by Provider
Cheapest on-demand offer per provider that is reported in stock right now. Prices are per GPU per hour; multi-GPU instances show the whole-instance price alongside. Deploy opens the DeployGPU console for providers on the platform, otherwise the provider's own site.

A100 Catalog Listing History (30 days)
Catalog listings, not live prices.
These averages are of every tracked catalog listing, including spot, reserved, out-of-stock and older rows. They do not measure live on-demand prices or availability (the daily price history table above does that) and cannot establish savings against the current offers. Each day averages its recorded catalog snapshots; the median gives each day equal weight. Missing days are excluded. Figures combine 4 variants: NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB, NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB, NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40GB, NVIDIA A100 PCIe 40GB.
