Each point is the daily cross-provider median for this SKU and pricing type (per-provider medians first, so no marketplace’s volume dominates). Gaps are gaps — we don’t interpolate missing data.

The spread: the same NVIDIA L40 ranges from $0.57 to $1.35 per hour across tracked providers right now — a 2.4× difference. This is why we exist.

Price alert

One email when the NVIDIA L40 daily median hits your number. No account, one-shot, the alert retires after it fires.

NVIDIA L40 and NVIDIA L40S are tracked as separate SKUs — different interconnect, different performance, different market. Comparing them in one number would be wrong, so we don’t.
