“What is the real effective price per hour for an NVIDIA H100 across GPU cloud providers? Include the sticker price, spot or committed discounts, egress fees, and current availability for each provider.”
This comparison covers 24 provider/offering rows observed in 2026, current through 2026-09-07, all prices in USD per H100 GPU-hour. It spans marketplaces, GPU-specialist clouds, and the four hyperscalers; each price, discount, egress fee, and availability statement links its own source. Several rates are triangulated from secondary comparison pages, and marketplace rows change with inventory.

Method: 24 provider/offering rows for NVIDIA H100 GPU-hour pricing, observed 2026 (latest 2026-09-07), all values USD per GPU-hour. “Effective” is the lower currently supported spot/committed rate when no higher than sticker, else sticker; “+10 GB” adds 10× the first paid-tier public-internet egress fee as a sensitivity scenario, not a workload assumption. Free monthly allowances are shown but not amortized. Excluded: CPU/RAM/storage, taxes, inter-zone traffic, minimum billing, marketplace host fees, interruption/restart costs. H100 variants and bundled host resources differ; do not read as benchmark-equivalent. Several rates come from secondary comparison pages; rows backed by 5 or fewer independent hosts, or marketplace-variable, are flagged. AWS Capacity Blocks is an advance-reservation product listed separately from AWS EC2 p5.
