GPU rental pricing
Lambda Labs GPU pricing: rental cost per hour by GPU and region
Direct answer
Lambda Labs rents GPU instances from about $0.79 per GPU-hour on-demand (V100 in asia-northeast-1). This page tracks 323 instance rows across 7 GPU models (A10, A100, B200, GH200, H100, A100-80GB, and more) and 17 regions, from the ByteCosts GPU catalog. Per-GPU rate is the instance hourly price divided by GPU count, so multi-GPU boxes can look cheaper per card. Spot and preemptible capacity is not guaranteed and can be reclaimed, so size on-demand for steady jobs and treat spot as a discount for interruptible work.

Cheapest Lambda Labs rate by GPU model
Lowest on-demand per-GPU-hour rate for each GPU model Lambda Labs offers, from the ByteCosts catalog. Per-GPU rate is the instance hourly price divided by GPU count.
| GPU model | Per-GPU/hr | Instance | GPUs | Region | Instance/hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| V100 | $0.79 | gpu_8x_v100_n | 8 | asia-northeast-1 | $6.32 |
| A10 | $1.29 | gpu_1x_a10 | 1 | asia-northeast-1 | $1.29 |
| A100 | $1.99 | gpu_1x_a100_sxm4 | 1 | asia-northeast-1 | $1.99 |
| GH200 | $2.29 | gpu_1x_gh200 | 1 | asia-northeast-1 | $2.29 |
| A100-80GB | $2.79 | gpu_8x_a100_80gb_sxm4 | 8 | asia-northeast-1 | $22.32 |
| H100 | $3.29 | gpu_1x_h100_pcie | 1 | asia-northeast-1 | $3.29 |
| B200 | $6.69 | gpu_8x_b200_sxm6 | 8 | asia-northeast-1 | $53.52 |
When Lambda Labs GPUs are cost-effective
Headline per-hour price is only half the story for GPU rental. The variables that move a training or inference bill are GPU utilization (idle reserved capacity is pure waste), whether your job tolerates spot interruption, region and egress fees, and the storage and networking attached to the instance.
Lambda Labs tends to win when you can keep the GPU busy, batch interruptible work onto spot, and pick a region close to your data. It tends to lose when capacity sits idle between jobs, when egress moves large datasets out repeatedly, or when a smaller or older GPU would clear your throughput target at a lower rate.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Lambda Labs GPU cost per hour?
Lambda Labs rents GPUs from about $0.79 per GPU-hour on-demand for V100 (the gpu_8x_v100_n instance in asia-northeast-1), up to higher rates for newer accelerators. See the table above for the cheapest rate per GPU model. Rates are list rental prices before committed-use discounts.
Is spot or on-demand cheaper on Lambda Labs?
Lambda Labs does not publish spot GPU rates in this catalog, so the on-demand rates above are the reference. Where a provider offers spot, it is cheaper but interruptible.
Where does ByteCosts get Lambda Labs GPU prices?
Rates come from the SkyPilot open GPU catalog, which mirrors provider pricing, normalized into the ByteCosts GPU index and dated. The provider's own pricing API is the ground truth; the catalog is used for discovery and cross-checking, not re-export. Verify the provider source before production commitments.
