H100-SXM vs B200: price and deliverability
B200 currently rents at 1.8× the median price of H100-SXM ($7.15 vs $3.99 per GPU-hour on demand). Whether that premium is worth it depends on memory, fabric, and what you are actually running — not the sticker.
| H100-SXM | B200 | |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest on-demand $/GPU-hr | $3.20 | $6.00 |
| Median on-demand | $3.99 | $7.15 |
| Sellers tracked | 12 | 9 |
| Grade A/B offerings | 16 | 12 |
| Max VRAM per GPU (tracked SKUs) | 80 GB | 192 GB |
Memory is the first gate: B200 carries 192 GB per GPU vs 80 GB. If your model + KV cache does not fit, price is irrelevant — the smaller card is not a substitute at any discount (ASSAY-1 §5).
Same-name capacity is not one good: within each column, prices spread by multiples depending on fabric. Check the per-GPU pages for every listing with its published interconnect, and the substitutability rules for when one can genuinely replace the other.
