B300 reserved and term prices

A reserved price is an hourly rate tied to a term: a month, a year, sometimes several years. The provider sets the machine aside for you. In return you pay for the whole term, and often you pay ahead.

For the B300 this is how much of the supply is sold. A provider that has spent heavily on new machines wants them paid for before they arrive. That is one reason so few B300s are left for on-demand use.

An on-demand price has no conditions. You start, you stop, you pay for the time between. A reserved price is the price of a term you must buy in full. Put the two side by side and the lower number looks like a bargain, when it is a different product.

The tables on this site list on-demand prices for that reason. On 12 Nov 2026, on-demand B300 prices listed here ran from $6.60 to $17.80 per GPU-hour.

Count hours. A 30-day month has 720 of them. Multiply the reserved rate by every hour in the term. Compare that total with the on-demand cost of the hours you would really run.

A term that is a quarter cheaper per hour pays off only when you use more than three quarters of it. A training run that fills the machine day and night clears that bar. A team that works office hours does not.

Read the length, the amount paid ahead and the start date. Ask what happens if the machines arrive late. Ask whether you can move to a different card during the term, and whether unused hours carry over. With a card this new, each of those answers changes what the rate is worth.

Runcrate sells on-demand GPUs billed by the second on most models, and booting is never billed. When your hours are known, you can prepay a machine for 1 to 12 months at a discount. For a cluster, Runcrate takes sealed bids for a month or longer.
