Price ladder
The Blackwell price ladder: B300, B200 and H200
Answer in brief
The ladder has three rungs in 2026: the B300 at the top with 288 GB, the B200 below it with 180 GB, and the H200 with 141 GB as the step before Blackwell.
Runcrate is our pick for moving along it, with 26 GPU models from $0.23/hr on one prepaid balance.
The three rungs
The B300 is the Blackwell Ultra card: 288 GB of memory on one GPU. The B200 is the Blackwell card with 180 GB. The H200 comes from the Hopper generation before them and has 141 GB.
Memory is what separates the rungs for a renter. Each step up lets a larger model, or a longer context, sit on a single card.
What each rung costs today
On 12 Nov 2026, the median listed on-demand price per GPU-hour was $9.25 for the B300, $8.34 for the B200 and $5.40 for the H200.
The lowest listed prices were $6.60, $3.50 and $3.49 in the same order. Each is a list price. The tables on this site show which can be started.
Price for each GB of memory
One way to read the ladder is to divide the hourly price by the memory on the card. That gives a price for each GB for an hour. It shows whether a step up costs more or less than the memory it adds.
Do the sum with the prices in the tables on the day you read them. The answer changes as prices move, and it differs between a single card and a machine of eight.
Which rung to start on
Start on the lowest rung that holds your model with a margin. Lower rungs have more listings, and more of them can be started. Climb only when memory forces you to.
The reverse is expensive. A model that would fit on an H200, run on a B300, pays the top price for memory it leaves empty.
Below the ladder
Older cards are still rented widely, at lower hourly prices and with less memory. They are a fair choice for small models. This site does not track them. Its tables cover the B300 and the B200.
Where Runcrate fits
Runcrate offers 26 GPU models from $0.23/hr, the B300 and the H200 among them, on one prepaid balance. Billing is by the second on most GPUs, and booting is never billed.
