Hyperscalers List GPUs at Nearly 2× the GPU-Cloud Price, Fluence Research Finds
Summary
Fluence’s report says GPU cloud prices vary widely by provider: hyperscaler rates average 1.98 times the GPU-cloud median, with H200 prices ranging from $4.08 to $10.60 per hour. One-year reservations reduce providers’ median rates by 21% and three-year commitments by 48%; spot capacity averages 53% of on-demand pricing. Despite expectations of falling costs, 17 of 22 tracked GPU models rose in price over the past year, and H100 rental prices increased 13% to 30%. The report advises buyers to compare providers, commit for predictable workloads, choose GPUs suited to their models, and consider options beyond hyperscalers.
