What it costs to rent a GPU

The on-demand list price each cloud provider publishes in its own price feed, US East. Each provider is its own line. Nothing is averaged. Per GPU-hour is derived: the listed price per instance-hour divided by the GPUs the provider says the instance has. These are list prices; reserved terms and private contracts can be lower. Chart them your way

A red dot marks a price change. AWS publishes one price list a month, so its changes are dated by month. Azure states the date each price took effect. Last read 1 November 2026.

For AI agents

The same facts through an MCP server at https://dap.solutions/compute/mcp, listed in the MCP Registry as solutions.dap/compute. Free for people: 50 calls a day from any one address. Agents pay $0.01 USDC per call after that, over x402 version 2 on Base, through DAP Agent Payments. Agents that call HTTP rather than MCP use the JSON API at https://dap.solutions/compute/api, at $0.01 USDC from the first call, described at https://dap.solutions/compute/api/openapi.json. Institutions use a DAP licence key instead, billed by invoice: one licence covers this and Bellwether. How DAP Agent Payments works
