H100 Rental Prices: category guide

Answer in brief

Runcrate is our editor’s choice for H100 rental prices: 26 GPU models from $0.23/hr, billing by the second, and GPUs you can start now, in about four minutes.

In 2026 the H100 is the older card: the H200, B200 and B300 are the newer ones. On 12 Nov 2026, the median listed price per GPU-hour was $3.90 for the H100, $5.40 for the H200, $8.34 for the B200 and $9.50 for the B300. Price the H100 beside them, then check the smallest rental and whether it can be started today.

The H100 in 2026: an older card with newer ones beside it

The H100 is NVIDIA’s Hopper datacenter GPU with 80 GB of memory. It is the most widely listed datacenter GPU, and more providers list it than any newer card. On 12 Nov 2026, 19 providers listed an on-demand H100 price, against 15 for the H200.

Three newer cards now sit above it. The H200 has 141 GB of memory, the B200 has 180 GB and the B300 has 288 GB. An H100 rental price is worth reading only beside theirs, because a job that needs two H100s may cost less on one newer card. The tables on this site put all four side by side.

How to read an H100 rental price

Every provider prints a price per GPU-hour. Behind it is a machine of one, two, four or eight H100s, billed by the second, the minute or the hour, on demand or for a term. Two prices compare only when all of that matches.

So read the smallest rental first, then the unit, then the commitment, then the date. On 12 Nov 2026, the lowest listed hourly total for an 8-GPU H100 machine was $18.40. Last, read the label beside the price: Start now, No GPUs, Gated, Quota or Not checked.

Before you rent an H100

Work through the questions in this order. Each one removes options the next would have wasted time on.

  1. Does your model fit in 80 GB?

    If it does not, you need more than one H100 or a newer card. Compare the total for both before you rent.

  2. Have you priced the newer cards?

    The H200, B200 and B300 hold more on one card. The tables here show their prices beside the H100’s, read on the same day.

  3. How many H100s come with the price?

    H100s are listed as one, two, four or eight cards. A per-GPU figure inside a machine of eight is one eighth of the bill.

  4. What unit is the bill in?

    By the second, the minute or the hour. Ask too whether the time a machine spends booting is billed.

  5. Is it an on-demand price?

    Spot machines can be taken back and reserved prices need a term. Neither compares with an on-demand figure.

  6. Can you start it today?

    Each row is labelled Start now, No GPUs, Gated, Quota or Not checked, with the date of the check.
