How this comparison is calculated

Every price is normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using the same normalization as every other pricing surface on Aquanode (see /gpu-index). A dash means that provider does not currently list that GPU model.

Only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider per GPU model is shown. This page regenerates at most once per hour.
