H100 rental prices up 30% in six months: RunPod now $3.49/GPU-hour
julsimon · x · 2026-09-30
A price check on on-demand H100 SXM rentals at the same provider tier shows clear inflation: RunPod Secure Cloud went from $2.69 per GPU-hour (Mar 17) to $3.49 (Sep 27), a 30% jump, while Lambda's 8-GPU node rate rose from $3.44 to $3.99 per GPU-hour, up 16%. The takeaway: GPU rental budgets drawn up in March are already stale, and compute costs should be re-quoted quarterly.
