AI GPU Cost Calculator
Compare cloud GPU pricing across 4 providers. Enter hours, GPU count and frequency. See costs for NVIDIA H100, A100, L4 and T4 side by side with cheapest provider highlighted.
How to Use the GPU Cost Calculator
Enter hours needed per run, number of GPUs and monthly runs. Furthermore, see hourly rates for 6 GPU types across 4 cloud providers with the cheapest highlighted.
Cloud GPU Pricing (June 2026)
Lambda Labs offers the lowest GPU prices. Furthermore, their H100 at $2.49/hr is 37 percent cheaper than AWS ($3.99). GCP offers the second-best pricing. Additionally, reserved instances reduce costs 30 to 60 percent but require commitment.
| GPU | VRAM | Best for | Range $/hr |
|---|---|---|---|
| H100 | 80 GB | Large training, frontier inference | $2.49–$3.99 |
| A100 80GB | 80 GB | Fine-tuning, medium training | $1.89–$3.06 |
| L4 | 24 GB | Inference, LoRA | $0.59–$0.81 |
| T4 | 16 GB | Budget inference | $0.33–$0.53 |
GPU vs API: When to Self-Host
Self-hosting saves money above $5,000 monthly API spend with 80 percent GPU utilisation. Furthermore, Lambda H100 processes Llama 70B at ~100 tokens/sec, costing $0.09/M tokens versus $0.88 via hosted API. The trade-off is operational overhead.

GPU Selection Guide
Choose GPU based on model size. Furthermore, 7B parameter models fit on L4 (24GB). 13B models need A100 40GB. 70B models need A100 80GB or H100. Additionally, training requires 2 to 3x more VRAM than inference due to optimizer states and gradients.
