We track Vast.ai, RunPod, io.net and other AI compute marketplaces. The table above ranks them by daily host take-home for the NVIDIA A40 after platform fees. Best provider varies by GPU model — datacenter cards like H100/B200 usually clear higher on Vast.ai, while consumer cards often utilize better on RunPod.
How long until the NVIDIA A40 pays back via AI rental?
At $0.1/kWh and current host-net rates, the ROI calculator on this site projects payback months for the NVIDIA A40. Real payback depends on AI demand cycles — utilization swings with the broader compute market, so plan around 30–80% utilization rather than 100%.
