B200 vs H100: common questions

Is the B200 or the H100 cheaper to rent?

On Aquanode's live marketplace the B200 starts at $5.09/GPU/hr (median $6.85/GPU/hr across 1 provider) and the H100 starts at $2.29/GPU/hr (median $2.70/GPU/hr across 5 providers). The H100 is the cheaper of the two at the entry rate, by 55%.

What is the difference between the B200 and the H100?

The B200 has 180 GB of VRAM against the H100's 80 GB; the B200 is a Blackwell part and the H100 is Hopper (compute capability 10.0 vs 9.0); both run BF16, FP8, INT4 workloads in hardware. On price, the B200 lists from $5.09/GPU/hr and the H100 from $2.29/GPU/hr.

Which cloud providers offer the B200 and the H100?

1 provider list the B200 (Vast.ai) and 5 list the H100 (Vast.ai, Massed Compute, HyperStack, Akash and DataCrunch), across 1 and 5 regions respectively. Both are available from Vast.ai.

How much does 1,000 GPU-hours cost on the B200 vs the H100?

At the lowest rates listed today, 1,000 GPU-hours costs $5,095 on the B200 and $2,295 on the H100 — a difference of $2,800 for the same runtime. Rates are per GPU per hour and update hourly.

How this comparison is calculated

Every price is normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using the same pipeline as every other pricing surface on Aquanode, and only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider is shown. A dash means that provider does not currently list that GPU.

Architecture, compute capability and supported precisions come from each vendor's published datasheet for that generation — not from the marketplace feed. This page regenerates at most once per hour.
