- The cheapest L40S costs 66% of the cheapest H100 ($1.29/GPU-hr) right now.
- One step down in price, the A6000 starts at $0.50/GPU-hr (48 GB GDDR6).
- One step up, the A100 80GB starts at $0.99/GPU-hr (80 GB HBM2e).
How we get these prices
Prices come from the public SkyPilot catalog (Apache-2.0), which lists each neocloud's on-demand list prices. We read it every 30 minutes and divide each instance's hourly price by its GPU count, so every figure is per GPU-hour. For each provider we show its cheapest listing; spot and peer-to-peer marketplace listings aren't included.
A list price is not a guarantee: the provider may have no free capacity at that price, and what you can actually launch changes minute to minute. MatMul launches from live supplier inventory and charges the supplier's price plus a markup, so the price you pay on MatMul is not the market floor shown here. The console shows the exact hourly price before you launch.
FAQ
- How much does an L40S cost per hour?
- As of 23 Sep 2026, 19:30 UTC, on-demand list prices for the NVIDIA L40S run from $0.85 to $1.55 per GPU-hour across the 4 neoclouds we track, with a median of $1.00. These are list prices from the SkyPilot catalog, not quotes.
- Which cloud has the cheapest L40S right now?
- Seeweb, at $0.85 per GPU-hour (instance ECS1GPU7, it-fr2). List prices don't guarantee stock: the provider may have none free at that price.
- Can I launch an L40S at these prices on MatMul?
- Not necessarily. MatMul launches from live supplier inventory and charges the supplier's price plus a markup, so its price is not the market floor shown here. The console shows the exact hourly price of every GPU you can launch right now, before you launch.
- Where do these prices come from?
- From the public SkyPilot catalog (Apache-2.0), which lists each neocloud's on-demand instance prices. MatMul reads it every 30 minutes and divides each instance price by its GPU count to get a per-GPU-hour price. Spot and marketplace listings aren't included.
