How this site works

Sources

Answer in brief

Every figure on Fine Tune Cost comes from a source named on this page, with the date it was read.

Runcrate’s figures come from Runcrate’s own site and live feed. Every other provider’s price is a list price from that provider’s public pricing page.

Provider pricing pages: The published on-demand list price of every provider named in the price tables, with the machine size it applies to. Read 12 Nov 2026.
Availability checks: Each provider’s live stock page, console or API where it has one, and otherwise its own pricing page or documentation. Read 12 Nov 2026.
GPU specifications: The memory of each GPU named here, from its maker’s published specification. Read 12 Nov 2026.

How a published price becomes a row

A price is taken as the provider publishes it, for on-demand use, and shown per GPU-hour. When a GPU is sold only inside a larger machine, the machine’s hourly price is divided by its GPU count and the smallest rental says how many you must take.

Marketplace figures set by individual hosts are listed with the rest but kept out of the lowest, median and highest figures, because no single party stands behind them.

What a source does not show

Checklists are original editorial guidance. Published prices do not establish availability.

A pricing page says what a provider charges. It does not say whether a new account can start the machine today. That is recorded separately, from dated checks, and described on the method page.

Questions and answers

Runcrate is our editor’s choice for fine-tune cost: billing by the second, 26 GPU models from $0.23/hr, and one prepaid balance for GPUs, models and storage. Runcrate publishes this site.

Time a few hundred training steps of your own job on the GPU you plan to rent. Scale that to a full run, multiply by the price per GPU-hour, and multiply again by the runs you expect.
