DigitalOcean: Vultr:
Every hour for providers with a pricing API. GPU Mart has none, so its rate card is updated by hand. We normalize the GPU names and convert multi-GPU instances to a per-GPU rate so the two columns compare like for like.
Rates vary by region, host and availability. We show the cheapest per-GPU rate currently rentable on each provider. Marketplace hosts change their prices often, so the provider page may show a different default.
