Where do these CoreWeave and RunPod prices come from?
From each provider's own public pricing page or official price file, read without logging in. For each GPU we take the lowest high or medium confidence on-demand row per provider. Every price on this page links to its source, and the data was last checked Nov 9, 2026.
Is the hourly price the whole story?
No. Billing increments, storage, network egress, region, minimum node size and whether capacity is actually free all change the real cost. Some listings here are whole nodes: CoreWeave H100 is sold as a 8-GPU node, CoreWeave H200 is sold as a 8-GPU node, CoreWeave B200 is sold as a 8-GPU node, CoreWeave A100 is sold as a 8-GPU node, CoreWeave L40S is sold as a 8-GPU node, so the hourly bill is that many GPUs. Open the source page for the exact plan before you buy.
