Cheapest H100 rental per hour
The cheapest on-demand NVIDIA H100 rental in June 2026 is $1.90/hr (H100 PCIe) on Hyperstack. On spot/community tiers it falls to about $0.95/hr on Vast.ai. Specialist neoclouds and the Vast.ai marketplace dominate the low end; AWS, GCP and Azure sit far higher because they sell H100s as whole 8-GPU instances bundling vCPU/RAM/support.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest H100 rental per hour in 2026?
The cheapest on-demand H100 we track is $1.90/hr (H100 PCIe) on Hyperstack. On spot/community tiers it drops to about $0.95/hr on Vast.ai. Snapshot June 2026 — cloud GPU prices change weekly; verify on the provider's pricing page before relying on a figure.
Why is the H100 so much cheaper on neoclouds than AWS?
Specialist neoclouds (RunPod, Vast.ai, Hyperstack, Vultr, Lambda) sell GPU compute with minimal bundled services, so an H100 runs ~$2-4/hr. Hyperscalers price flagship GPUs only as whole 8-GPU instances bundling lots of vCPU, RAM and support, pushing the per-GPU figure to $7-12/hr.
SXM vs PCIe H100: which should I rent?
SXM has higher memory bandwidth and NVLink for multi-GPU scale-out, so it is preferred for large distributed training. PCIe (350W) is fine for single-GPU training and inference and is sometimes cheaper. Most neoclouds list SXM; only a few (RunPod, Hyperstack, Vast.ai) publish PCIe.
Is spot H100 worth it?
If your job checkpoints and can survive interruption, spot/community H100 (often ~50% off on-demand) is great value. For long unattended runs where a restart is costly, on-demand or reserved is safer.
