Every on-demand H200 price we found, spot and marketplace prices, what fits in 141 GB, and who takes crypto or asks for ID.

No ID and no card: top up in crypto, start an H200 as soon as the top-up is credited.

**Quick answer — How much does an H200 cost per hour?**

As of 29 October 2026, an NVIDIA H200 141GB costs from $3.62 to $10.60 per GPU-hour on demand across 13 providers, with a median of $5.29. On **GPUwithCrypto** it costs $3.07/hour, billed per minute and paid in crypto with no KYC. Interruptible H200s start lower: Nebius lists preemptible H200s from $0.79.

## How much does an H200 cost per hour at each provider?

One row per provider at its cheapest on-demand H200 configuration, sorted by price. The most expensive on-demand H200 we found (Google Cloud, $10.60 per GPU in an 8-GPU VM) costs 2.9 times the cheapest.

*Prices checked on October 29, 2026.*

USD per GPU-hour, taxes excluded, rounded to the cent. Hyperscaler prices cover the whole VM (AWS US East, Google Cloud Iowa). 'None documented' means no ID step in the official sign-up, billing or terms pages we read, not a promise that a provider never asks. RunPod's Community Cloud is community-hosted.

## Is the H200 worth the extra cost over an H100?

Yes when your model does not fit in 80 GB. According to GPUwithCrypto's price check of 29 October 2026, a median on-demand H200 costs 27% more per hour than a median H100 ($5.29 against $4.16). It has 76% more memory (141 GB against 80 GB) and 43% more bandwidth than the H100 SXM (4,800 against 3,350 GB/s).

Compute is the same: NVIDIA gives the H200 SXM and the H100 SXM the same FP8 rating, 3,958 TFLOPS with sparsity or about 1,979 dense. So the H200 pays off for big models and long contexts, not for small ones. Llama 3.1 70B in FP8 needs about 84 GB: one H200, or two H100s. The [H100 vs H200 comparison](https://gpuwithcrypto.com/compare/h100-vs-h200/ "H100 vs H200: is the H200 worth the extra cost?") has the full verdict, and the [H100 price page](https://gpuwithcrypto.com/gpu-prices/h100/ "How much does it cost to rent an H100 per hour?") the H100 rows.

## Why are some marketplace and spot H200s cheaper than ours?

Because the host sets the price on a marketplace, and the provider can take a spot GPU back. On 29 October 2026, the cheapest rentable H200 NVL offer in Vast.ai's public price feed was $3.00 per hour, below our $3.07. Nebius listed preemptible H200s from $0.79 and Jarvislabs an H200 spot at $2.29.

These prices suit jobs that save checkpoints and can restart. For a long run or an always-on inference server, compare on-demand prices. Instances are on-demand, not spot: nobody can take your GPU back while your balance covers it, and the instance runs until you stop it.

## Which H200 sets the reference price: SXM or NVL?

The reference is Massed Compute's H200 NVL at $3.62 per GPU-hour. The NVL is the PCIe version: same 141 GB and 4,800 GB/s as the SXM, but 600 W and a lower Tensor rating. The cheapest self-serve H200 SXM we found was Crusoe's at $4.29.

GPUwithCrypto has one H200 price for every host. Instances have 1 to 8 GPUs depending on the host. Before you start, the dashboard shows each host’s country, GPU count, form factor (SXM or PCIe) and interconnect.

## How much does an H200 cost per day, week or month?

Our price for one GPU next to the lowest and the median self-serve on-demand price of 29 October 2026, for the same number of hours.

| Period | GPU-hours | GPUwithCrypto | Lowest elsewhere (Massed Compute) | Median elsewhere |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 hour | 1 | **$3.07** | $3.62 | $5.29 |
| 1 day | 24 | **$73.68** | $86.88 | $126.96 |
| 1 week | 168 | **$515.76** | $608.16 | $888.72 |
| 30 days | 720 | **$2,210.40** | $2,606.40 | $3,808.80 |

*Prices checked on October 29, 2026.*

Our day, week and month match the 24, 168 and 720 GPU-hour blocks.

## What are the H200's specs?

NVIDIA's official figures for the two H200 versions. NVIDIA prints Tensor figures with sparsity only; the dense figures below are half of those, so compare dense with dense.

| Spec | H200 SXM | H200 NVL (PCIe) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Memory | 141 GB HBM3e | 141 GB HBM3e |
| Memory bandwidth | 4,800 GB/s | 4,800 GB/s |
| FP8 Tensor, dense | 1,979 TFLOPS (3,958 sparse) | 1,670.5 TFLOPS (3,341 sparse) |
| FP16 / BF16 Tensor, dense | 989.5 TFLOPS (1,979 sparse) | 835.5 TFLOPS (1,671 sparse) |
| GPU-to-GPU link | NVLink 900 GB/s | NVLink bridge 900 GB/s |
| Max power | 700 W | 600 W |

NVIDIA labels the H200 figures 'Preliminary specifications. May be subject to change.'

## What fits on one H200?

Memory needed for common open models, using weights × 1.2 for inference (EleutherAI's rule of thumb). The [VRAM guide](https://gpuwithcrypto.com/how-much-vram-do-i-need/ "How much VRAM do I need to run or fine-tune an LLM?") has the formulas and more models.

| Model and job | Memory needed | One H200 141GB? |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Llama 3.1 70B inference, FP8 | ≈ 84 GB | Yes |
| Llama 3.1 70B, FP8 weights plus one full 128K-token context (BF16 cache) | ≈ 113 GB | Yes |
| Qwen2.5 72B inference, FP8 | ≈ 87.2 GB | Yes |
| Llama 3.1 70B QLoRA fine-tune | ≈ 52.5 GB | Yes |
| Llama 3.1 70B inference, BF16 | ≈ 168 GB | No: 2× H200 |
| Llama 3.1 70B LoRA fine-tune | ≈ 140 to 168 GB | No: 2× H200 |
| Llama 3.1 405B inference, FP8 | ≈ 486 GB | No: 4× H200 |
| DeepSeek-V3 or R1 inference, FP8 | ≈ 805 GB | No: one 8× H200 node (1,128 GB) |

## What does an H200 cost on GPUwithCrypto?

$3.07/hour, at least 15% under its named on-demand reference: Massed Compute at $3.62, read on 29 October 2026. We do not claim to be the cheapest for every GPU; spot and marketplace offers (Vast.ai) can be lower. Instances are billed per minute at the hourly rate while they run, from the GPU-hours you bought for that GPU. Stopping an instance stops the charge at once. GPU-hours are sold in blocks of 10, 24, 168 or 720 hours for one GPU model, at the same hourly rate; instances of that GPU draw from them per minute, and unused hours never expire.

| Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Try | 10 GPU-hours | $30.70 | $3.07/hour |
| Day | 24 GPU-hours | $73.68 | $3.07/hour |
| Week | 168 GPU-hours | $515.76 | $3.07/hour |
| Month | 720 GPU-hours | $2,210.40 | $3.07/hour |

In every plan: Whole GPUs, never shared · Root SSH, CUDA and PyTorch ready · Billed per minute · Unused hours never expire

**Before you pay**

- Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance.
- Credit on your balance does not expire and buys blocks of GPU-hours for any GPU. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it.
- Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min

## H200 price questions

### What is the cheapest H200 cloud right now?

On 29 October 2026 the lowest self-serve on-demand H200 price we found was $3.62, for Massed Compute's H200 NVL, and GPUwithCrypto charges $3.07. The cheapest H200 SXM was Crusoe's at $4.29. Spot H200s go lower but can be interrupted, and marketplace hosts set their own prices.

### How much does an H200 cost per month?

720 GPU-hours cost $2,210.40 on GPUwithCrypto. At the median on-demand price of 29 October 2026 the same month cost $3,808.80, and $2,606.40 at the lowest.

### Can a 70B model run on one H200?

Yes in FP8 or 4-bit. Llama 3.1 70B needs about 84 GB in FP8, which leaves room for long contexts on a 141 GB H200. In BF16 it needs about 168 GB, so two H200s.

### Can I rent an H200 with crypto?

Yes. GPUwithCrypto takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC with no ID, no selfie and no card. Of the 13 self-serve H200 providers we checked, 4 accept crypto: Massed Compute, DigitalOcean, Spheron and RunPod. RunPod asks for KYC before the first crypto payment.

### Which H200 do I get on GPUwithCrypto, SXM or NVL?

It depends on the host. Instances have 1 to 8 GPUs depending on the host. Before you start, the dashboard shows each host’s country, GPU count, form factor (SXM or PCIe) and interconnect. Both versions have 141 GB of HBM3e and 4,800 GB/s.
