What’s the price difference between spot and pay-as-you-go GPU instances?

Data updated: 2026-10-28 06:45 · Always refer to the platform’s official order page for final pricing · Free API endpoint: rentgpu.link/api/prices
Direct answer:Per our monitoring on 2026-10-28, spot/preemptible instance prices average ~30% lower than pay-as-you-go rates (by GPU model: RTX 4090 −20%, A100 80GB −29%, H100 80GB −39%, H200 141GB −32%). However, spot instances may be reclaimed by the platform at any time, interrupting your workload—so they suit only fault-tolerant batch jobs (e.g., checkpoint-restart training or retryable tasks), not online services.

When not to use spot instances

For online inference, stateful services, or training tasks with tight deadlines, avoid spot/preemptible instances—interruption costs often far exceed savings.

How to minimize interruption loss

Always enable checkpointing (save model every N steps) in your training script and use a scheduler that supports automatic restarts; offload one-time tasks like data preprocessing to pay-as-you-go instances.
