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 fresh representative offers from the same market type.
| 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.
Current L40S cloud pricing evidence
Representative comparable offers are normalized to a per-GPU-hour rate and ranked from lowest to highest.

L40S regional coverage
These are explicitly named regions reported by fresh comparable offers. 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 3 named regions have evidence from 2+ providers
0 observed regions include fresh comparable L40S catalog evidence from at least two providers, while 3 are 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 fresh comparable snapshot is represented by one provider only, so regional fallback planning has no cross-provider catalog evidence here.
Single-provider region watchlist: pl-waw-2 — Scaleway, us-east-va-1 — OVHcloud, us-west-or-1 — OVHcloud. Each provider shown is only the sole provider represented by fresh comparable catalog rows for that named region in this 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 | Fresh comparable offers | Providers represented | Observed providers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 currently lack qualifying deployment-eligibility evidence and remain explicitly unevidenced.
Decision read: 4 representative offers should still be treated as unknown for deployability comparisons; do not use a current 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 |
| Scaleway | on demand | pl-waw-2 | available | deployment eligibility | Availability source | |
| Crusoe Cloud | on demand | Unspecified | unknown | unknown | Not separately observed | No separate source |
| DigitalOcean | on demand | Unspecified | unknown | unknown | Not separately observed | No separate source |
| Vultr | on demand | Unspecified | unknown | unknown | Not separately observed | No separate source |
| OVHcloud | on demand | us-east-va-1 | available | deployment eligibility | Availability source |

Enter the GPU-hours you expect to consume. The estimate uses the same lowest and highest representative hourly rates shown above and excludes storage, bandwidth, support, taxes, commitments, and negotiated discounts.
L40S cost scenarios
These estimates multiply GPU-hours by the lowest and highest representative hourly rates above. They exclude storage, bandwidth, support, taxes, commitments, and negotiated discounts.
| GPU-hours | Published price range |
|---|---|
| 40 | $51.60–$72.00 |
| 160 | $206.40–$288.00 |
| 240 | $309.60–$432.00 |

Compare L40S by provider
Open the exact provider × L40S decision sheets that currently pass the autonomous publication gates. Each page keeps provider-specific regions, configurations, evidence, and normalized rates separate from the broader market view above.
How this comparison is built
- Only comparable normalized records for the exact L40S model are eligible.
- Fresh records are limited to the existing live, recent, or verified freshness states; this snapshot is 100% fresh.
- 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.
