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 L40S ranges from $0.73 to $1.80 per hour across tracked providers right now — a 2.5× difference. This is why we exist.

Price alert

One email when the NVIDIA L40S daily median hits your number. No account, one-shot, the alert retires after it fires.

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

Last scrape: 2026-08-11 02:51 UTC · 654 observations today across 8 providers · Failures logged, never interpolated.
