RunPod
cheapest verified h100 of the ten, billed by the second, with free egress and one storage trap worth knowing.
the best combination of price, billing granularity and free bandwidth in the category — just don't shut pods down to save money, because that costs more.
runpod lists h100 sxm at $2.99 on secure cloud and $2.69 on community cloud, with the pcie variant from $1.99, and b200 at $5.89 across both tiers. compute and pod storage bill per second, and there are no ingress or egress fees at all — a combination nothing else here matches at this price.
the trap is in the storage table, and it inverts the advice everyone gives. volume disk costs $0.10 per gb per month while a pod runs and $0.20 while it is stopped. shutting a pod down to save money doubles the storage line, and network volumes bill hourly even though compute bills per second.
