A30 cloud GPU pricing

11 listings across 7 providers. Cheapest published rate: $0.080/GPU/hr at SpotGPUs. Sorted by per-GPU hourly price. Every row links to the provider's own published price.

WHAT IS THE A30

The A30 is the quiet value part of the Ampere line: HBM2 bandwidth (933 GB/s) at 165 W, with MIG support for slicing into four isolated instances. For memory-bandwidth-sensitive inference it often beats GDDR6 cards with higher list compute.

BUYING A30: WHAT THE PANEL SAYS

At the current floor, one A30 running around the clock costs about $58 a month (730 hours of on-demand arithmetic). Node shape matters: the single-GPU floor is $0.080/GPU/hr against $0.350/GPU/hr on an 8-GPU node (+337.5%). Per-GPU floors by config size: 1x $0.08 · 2x $0.90 · 3x $0.79 · 4x $0.74 · 8x $0.35. Compare the alternatives below before committing - the same budget often buys more than one chip class.

A30 VS THE ALTERNATIVES

A30 vs A10
Same memory size, 55% more bandwidth from HBM2, slightly more compute. For LLM serving the A30 is usually the better chip per dollar.

Are A30 prices going up or down?
Over the 11 days Compute Cafe has tracked the panel, the A30 floor is falling: $0.350 to $0.080/GPU/hr (-77.1%). The median continuously-tracked listing moved from $0.35 to $0.35 (+0.0%). Daily snapshots are public in the repo, so the trend is auditable.
What does a A30 cost per month?
At the current floor of $0.080/GPU/hr, a A30 running 24/7 costs about $58 per month (730 hours of on-demand arithmetic on the cheapest published rate). Committed-use contracts can price lower; the panel tracks on-demand rates only.
Is a full 8-GPU A30 node cheaper than a single card?
On today's panel: the single-GPU floor is $0.080/GPU/hr and the 8-GPU node floor is $0.350/GPU/hr - more expensive per GPU on a full node (+337.5%). Check the table for the exact configs behind each floor.
Why pick an A30?
When inference is bandwidth-bound and the panel prices it below GDDR6 alternatives - 933 GB/s of HBM2 at 165 W is hard to match in its class.
