T4 pricing
What the NVIDIA T4 costs right now: 4 tracked on-demand rates, the spread between them, the used market, and what the hourly number turns into when you own the card instead.
The headline on T4 pricing is the spread: the same card costs 5.9x more at the top of the market than at the bottom. The floor comes from Vast.ai (a peer-to-peer marketplace, cheapest but with host-trust trade-offs), the ceiling from Modal. Every rate below is an on-demand list price; commit to reserved or spot capacity and 30-70% comes off. The 2018 inference stalwart. Slow by modern standards, but everywhere and nearly free.
T4 rental prices by provider
| Provider | $/GPU-hr | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vast.ai | $0.10 | Verified-listing rate, refreshed daily |

Buying instead: the used market
Working T4 pulls currently trade around $320, with warrantied refurb channel units above that. Amortized over 36 months at 60% utilization with industrial power, that is an effective ~$0.03 per GPU-hour, below even the cheapest rental in the table above. The crossover depends entirely on your utilization: run your own numbers in the ROI calculator, and read the second-life guide before buying pulled hardware.
