How is the price calculated?
GPU cloud platforms charge per GPU-hour. The listed price is per card; multi-GPU instances multiply it. Storage, network egress, and setup fees are usually billed separately. Long-running jobs are often cheaper with monthly commitments, while short experiments are better on on-demand hourly pricing.
