Daily L40 prices per GPU-hour. The shaded period is reconstructed from the version history of SkyPilot's public price catalogs (fewer providers than live data); after that, PetaPrice's own tracking.
Cheapest On-demand L40 offer at each provider, per GPU-hour. Shorter and greener is cheaper.

GPUs with similar compute and memory, and their lowest on-demand price right now.
On-demand L40 prices start at $0.69 per GPU-hour (RunPod). The median across 7 providers is $0.88, and the most expensive is $1.38. Running one GPU around the clock costs about $504 per month at the lowest price.
Yes. Spot (interruptible) L40 capacity starts at $0.80 per GPU-hour, -16% below the cheapest on-demand price. Spot instances can be preempted at any time, so use them for checkpointed training or batch jobs.
At $0.69 per hour and 0.181 PF of dense FP16/BF16, the L40 costs $3.81 per PFLOP-hour. That ranks 54 of 70 GPUs with on-demand prices on PetaPrice. Figures are datasheet peaks; real utilization is typically 30–60%.
48 GB GDDR6 with 864 GB/s of memory bandwidth, Ada Lovelace architecture (2022), PCIe form factor, 300 W. Dense peak: 0.181 PF FP16 / BF16, 0.362 PF FP8, 0.362 PF INT8, 0.0905 PF TF32, 0.0905 PF FP32, 0.0014 PF FP64.
