Shared, not compared today
Both providers quoted these GPUs on-demand within the last 7 days, but at least one quote is not confirmed within 48 hours of the newest read (or is a marketplace floor withheld as too thin), and an unconfirmed price never decides which is cheaper. They return to the table above at the next read that confirms them.

How this is compared
Cloud GPU rental prices of GPU.ai and Lambda, compared per GPU-hour on the GPUs both list. Where a provider has several tiers or regions, its cheapest on-demand rate is used and labelled. Community capacity (RunPod Community Cloud) and marketplace floors are shown only where a provider has nothing else, and never decide which is cheaper.
