Which GPU Tier Should You Choose?

Use this quick recommendation model to decide where to start.

Choose A100 if

  • You need more memory headroom
  • You are doing fine-tuning or training
  • Your workload has outgrown 24 GB VRAM
  • You want a balanced step up before premium tiers

What Affects Final Pricing

GPU type

RTX 4090, A100 and H100 sit in very different pricing tiers.

Deployment model

Marketplace-style pricing is often lower than managed or enterprise cloud pricing.

Configuration

CPU, RAM, storage and networking can materially change the final quote.

Term length

Longer commitments can support more predictable planning than short-term requests.

Our Pricing Approach

We use request-based quoting so that pricing can match the actual workload rather than a generic one-size-fits-all package. This is especially important for GPU deployments, where the right setup depends on GPU class, term length, memory needs, region and deployment timing.

If you already know the GPU tier you need, the fastest route is to send a request with your target workload, preferred region and expected duration. If not, use the comparison above as a practical starting point and we can help you narrow down the right option.

Pricing FAQ

Are these your final public prices?

No. This page shows market-reference pricing based on current public listings. Final quotes depend on your requested configuration and deployment details.

Why do prices vary so much between providers?

Marketplace listings, managed clouds and enterprise providers use very different service models, reliability levels and billing structures.

Which GPU tier is usually the best starting point?

For many startups, RTX 4090 is the most practical entry point. A100 is a common next step for heavier memory-bound workloads, while H100 is typically evaluated for more advanced performance requirements.

Can I request a custom quote instead of choosing from this table?

Yes. In practice, custom quoting is often the best option because CPU, RAM, region, storage and term all affect the final setup.
