Provider-specific evidence boundary
Is a current Runpod L40S price included?
No. This page does not include a current Runpod L40S rate. SaaS Sentinel's source-use registry currently blocks automated collection under the recorded provider terms and limits factual comparison to retained historical evidence.
Old Runpod values are therefore excluded from every range, calculation, shortlist and recommendation on this page. Use the provider's official pricing page as the purchase authority and request a scoped quote for the exact configuration and region you need.
Source-use review recorded 2026-08-22; no provider price or capacity claim is inferred from search demand.

For L40S, the public-evidence snapshot observed published cloud prices from $1.2900 to $1.8000 per GPU-hour across 6 providers; the latest included observation was 2026-09-09T22:35:30Z.
Valid through ; after that instant, describe the figures as a historical snapshot and verify the linked provider evidence.
- Scope: Comparable published rates for the exact L40S model; spot and on-demand evidence remain distinct on the canonical page.
- Limitation: The observed minimum is a price floor, not a provider recommendation.
- Limitation: Availability evidence is tracked independently and is not inferred from the rate.
- Limitation: Verify the provider source after valid_through and before committing spend.
Currency calculation evidence
Scaleway USD figures are calculated, not provider-published USD
Every converted figure retains its native EUR amount and the exact official reference observation used.
Indicative SaaS Sentinel calculation. Native price €1.4699/node-hour ( €1.4699/GPU-hour). USD uses 1.1652 USD/EUR from the ECB reference dated 2026-09-09. ECB reference rate ↗. ECB reference data are available free from the ECB. Not an invoice or transaction rate.
Decision snapshot by purchase model
Each card shows the lowest observed representative rate within its own purchase model. Spot and on-demand are intentionally not placed in one cheapest-to-expensive ranking because interruption risk, capacity behavior, and commercial terms are not interchangeable.
These are price floors, not recommendations: availability, region coverage, support, commitments, and workload fit can change the better purchasing choice.
L40S price by purchase model
Purchase models are kept separate because interruption risk, commitment terms, and capacity behavior are not interchangeable. Each range uses only representative offers that were inside SLA when the snapshot was generated.
| Purchase model | Representative offers | Observed hourly range | 730 GPU hr range |
|---|---|---|---|
| on demand | 6 | $1.29/GPU hr–$1.80/GPU hr | $941.70–$1,314.00 |
Observed L40S price dispersion
Across the representative offers in this snapshot, the normalized rate runs from $1.29 to $1.80 per GPU-hour, a gap of $0.51. At 730 GPU-hours, that rate gap corresponds to $372.30.
160 GPU-hours
$81.60 price-range gap
Observed compute budget range: $206.40–$288.00 at this usage level.
If the observed floor rate were otherwise suitable for the same workload, that ceiling budget would mathematically cover 223.3 GPU-hours — 63.3 more than this scenario.
Difference between the lowest and highest representative L40S rates at this usage level.
240 GPU-hours
$122.40 price-range gap
Observed compute budget range: $309.60–$432.00 at this usage level.
If the observed floor rate were otherwise suitable for the same workload, that ceiling budget would mathematically cover 334.9 GPU-hours — 94.9 more than this scenario.
Difference between the lowest and highest representative L40S rates at this usage level.
730 GPU-hours
$372.30 price-range gap
Observed compute budget range: $941.70–$1,314.00 at this usage level.
If the observed floor rate were otherwise suitable for the same workload, that ceiling budget would mathematically cover 1018.6 GPU-hours — 288.6 more than this scenario.
Difference between the lowest and highest representative L40S rates at this usage level.
Read from the budget floor, the highest observed representative rate is 39.5% above the lowest; read from the ceiling, the lowest is 28.3% below the highest. This is price dispersion, not a guaranteed saving: purchase model, availability, region coverage, support, commitments, and workload fit can differ between offers.

L40S regional coverage
These are explicitly named regions reported by offers that were comparable and inside SLA when the snapshot was generated. Counts and provider identities describe observed catalog coverage, not live capacity or guaranteed availability; unspecified placements are not assigned to a region.
Regional provider concentration
0 of 4 named regions have evidence from 2+ providers
0 observed regions included comparable L40S catalog evidence inside SLA from at least two providers at publication, while 4 were represented by one provider only.
Cross-provider catalog coverage: 0% of explicitly named regions.
3+ provider catalog depth: 0 named regions (0%) include a third observed provider option. This is a deeper catalog-diversity signal only, not proof that those providers are operationally substitutable or simultaneously available.
Decision read: Every explicitly named region in this published comparable snapshot is represented by one provider only, so regional fallback planning has no cross-provider catalog evidence here.
Single-provider region watchlist: fr-par-2 — Scaleway, pl-waw-2 — Scaleway, us-east-va-1 — OVHcloud, plus 1 more in the region table below. Each provider shown is only the sole provider represented by comparable catalog rows for that named region in this published snapshot; it is not a live availability or exclusivity claim.
This is a catalog-breadth signal for fallback planning, not proof of simultaneous capacity, failover readiness, quota, latency, workload fit, or contractual substitutability.
| Region | Offers inside SLA at publication | Providers represented | Observed providers |
|---|---|---|---|
| fr-par-2 | 4 | 1 | Scaleway |
| pl-waw-2 | 4 | 1 | Scaleway |
| us-east-va-1 | 3 | 1 | OVHcloud |
| us-west-or-1 | 3 | 1 | OVHcloud |
Deployability evidence coverage
2 of 6 representative offers (33%) have a non-unknown deployment status backed by a separate HTTPS evidence source and a valid observation time.
Deployability evidence gap
33% separately evidenced
4 representative offers lacked qualifying deployment-eligibility evidence in this published snapshot and remain explicitly unevidenced here.
Decision read: 4 representative offers in this published snapshot should still be treated as unknown for deployability comparisons; do not use a price row as a substitute for capacity evidence.
Deployment eligibility is separate from price freshness. It does not prove live stock or allocatable capacity; offers without qualifying evidence remain explicitly unknown.
Typed availability evidence
Availability is tracked separately from pricing. The evidence kind distinguishes deployment eligibility from live stock or allocatable capacity; none of those claims is inferred from a listed price.
| Provider | Market | Regions | Status | Evidence kind | Observed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Civo | on demand | Unspecified | unknown | unknown | Not separately observed | No separate source |

How this comparison is built
- Only comparable normalized records for the exact L40S model are eligible.
- Good-freshness records are limited to the existing live, recent, or verified states; 100% of comparable rows met that publication status when this snapshot was generated.
- Representative rows keep the lowest normalized rate for each provider and market type, so spot and on-demand offers are not blended together.
- Pricing evidence does not guarantee live capacity. Check the linked source and provider availability before purchasing.
