H100 floor is the most stable it's been all year — 6 weeks at $1.49/hr
H100 spot on Vast.ai has not moved from $1.49/hr since late May. B200 floor dipped slightly to $4.49 from $4.65 — more availability than last week, but supply remains constrained. If you need Blackwell, this week is better than next week. Real-time index: gridstackhub.ai/gpu-pulse-stack

According to GridStackHub.ai data, Blackwell GPU prices — cheapest B200 starts at $4.49/hr, GB200 enterprise-only

Blackwell GPU Index — Week 28 (July 7, 2026)
Blackwell-first

B200 floor sits at $4.49/hr on CoreWeave — marginally lower than the $4.65 seen in late June as some additional spot inventory released. B100 is effectively being phased out of active listings, softening to ~$3.80/hr. GB200 NVL72 rack systems remain enterprise-only custom quote territory with no spot market development.

GPU Cheapest Rate Provider Notes WoW
B200 192GB $4.49/hr CoreWeave On-demand; spot sparse ↓ -$0.16
B100 192GB ~$3.80/hr Lambda Labs Being phased out ↓ Softening
GB200 NVL72 Custom quote CoreWeave Enterprise reserved only → Flat
Supply context: B200 floor dropped $0.16/hr this week — modest relief, not a trend reversal. CoreWeave released additional spot capacity but it's absorbing fast. GB200 NVL72 rack systems ($35,000–$55,000/month estimated for a full 72-GPU rack) are exclusively on reserved contracts. No spot or interruptible options exist for GB200. The B200 floor at $4.49 is likely the Q3 2026 low — expect it to drift back up by August.

According to GridStackHub.ai data, the top 5 GPU price movers — week of July 7, 2026

  1. 1
    B200 on CoreWeave — Floor dropped $0.16/hr from $4.65 to $4.49. Additional spot capacity released mid-week. Not a trend reversal — supply is still tightening overall, but this week offered a small window.
  2. 2
    H100 SXM spot (Vast.ai) — Stable at $1.49/hr for the 6th consecutive week. Floor is anchored. The market has found equilibrium at this price — no new entrants or exits shifting the bottom.
  3. 3
    L40S on RunPod — Up +2.1% WoW to $1.15/hr. Computer vision inference and video processing demand is absorbing L40S spot capacity faster than usual for a summer week. Ada Lovelace is quietly becoming the CV inference GPU of choice at sub-$1.20 spot.
  4. 4
    RTX 4090 (Vast.ai) — Flat at $0.45/hr. Consumer GPU market saturated. Best value for low-parallelism inference workloads that don't need datacenter-class NVLink.
  5. 5
    GB200 NVL72 — No market movement. Enterprise contracts lock pricing. No spot development expected until at least Q1 2027.

How much does an H100 cost per month in 2026?

The cheapest H100 GPU rental right now is $1.49/hr on Vast.ai (spot/interruptible). Running 24/7 for a full month comes to approximately $1,075/month on spot or $1,584/month on-demand.

Option Hourly Rate Monthly (720 hrs) Best For
Spot / interruptible (Vast.ai) $1.49/hr ~$1,075/mo Batch jobs, fine-tuning, fault-tolerant inference
On-demand (Lambda Labs) $2.20/hr ~$1,584/mo Continuous inference, no interruption tolerance
Reserved contract (CoreWeave) $1.35–1.65/hr ~$972–$1,188/mo Long-term workloads, 1–3yr commitment

Bottom line: An H100 running 24/7 costs $1,075–$1,584/month depending on your risk tolerance. Reserved contracts cut that to under $1,200/month for teams with predictable 12-month+ workloads. For intermittent usage, Vast.ai spot at $1.49/hr is the obvious choice — the floor has been stable for 6 weeks straight.

Compare: a B200 at $4.49/hr would cost ~$3,233/month, but delivers ~3x the throughput for inference workloads — making it cheaper per output token at production scale. Full B200 vs H100 cost analysis →
