Community Cloud offers the lowest rates (e.g. RTX A5000 from $0.16/hr) with hardware sourced from distributed partners. Secure Cloud runs in T3/T4 data centers with higher reliability at slightly higher prices.

Spot instances offer significant savings (e.g. RTX 3090 at $0.22/hr spot) but can be interrupted. Reserved pricing with 6-month or 1-year commitments saves up to ~30% (e.g. B200: $5.98/hr on-demand to $4.24/hr on 1-year reserved).

Storage is billed separately: $0.10/GB/month for pod volumes, $0.07/GB/month for network storage. No egress fees.
