Questions
What are the alternatives to Microsoft Azure?
Kovara tracks 19 other providers publishing at least one of the same GPUs as Microsoft Azure. For 3 of the 3 GPUs compared here, at least one other provider publishes a lower lowest price per GPU-hour.
How are prices compared?
Each provider's lowest public price for the GPU is converted to US dollars per GPU-hour. On-demand prices are compared with on-demand prices whenever the market has them; spot, preemptible, reserved and cluster terms are left out of that comparison.
Does a lower price mean it is the better choice?
Not on its own. Regions, interconnect, storage, contract terms, support and real capacity differ between providers. Open an offering to see its source, terms and availability evidence before deciding.
Prices come from public provider sources and can change at any time. A published price is not a guarantee of capacity.
