On-demand
Answer in brief
An on-demand rental starts when you ask and stops when you say, and you pay only for the time between.
On-demand in practice
There is no term and the provider cannot take the machine back while it runs. It is the highest price for a GPU and the only one that compares across providers.
Every price in the tables on this site is an on-demand price.
