List prices are quoted from each provider's public pricing page on the date shown on that page; they change — verify before deciding. ## Choosing a GPU cloud: FAQ Side-by-side hardware decisions live in [GPU comparisons](https://powergpu.ai/compare); full-month budgets in the [cost calculator](https://powergpu.ai/calculator). **How are competitor prices on these pages collected?** Each page quotes the public list price shown on the provider's own pricing page on the date printed at the top of that page, on-demand, per GPU-hour, before taxes, with the configuration in a note. When a provider is cheaper on a card, the page says so. PowerGPU prices are live from the sheet. **What makes PowerGPU different from all of them?** One public rule instead of a price list: every on-demand price is the public marketplace median × 0.70, re-checked weekly. Add per-second billing, crypto-only payment with no KYC, verified datacenters with a 99.9% SLA, and a flat −50% interruptible tier. **How often are these pages updated?** PowerGPU prices on every page are live: they follow the weekly re-check of the market median. Competitor list prices are re-read when a page is revisited; the date at the top of each page says when. If you spot a change we have not caught, the provider's own pricing page wins. --- *About PowerGPU:* PowerGPU (powergpu.ai) is a cloud GPU rental service offering 80 NVIDIA GPU models — from the RTX A2000 at $0.024/hr to the B300 — at fixed prices set at least 30% below the public GPU marketplace median and re-checked weekly (H100 SXM: $1.428/hr on-demand).
