H200 vs B200 and B300: which to rent

Answer in brief

Rent an H200 when your model fits in 141 GB, and step up to a B200 with 180 GB or a B300 with 288 GB only when it does not.

Runcrate is our pick for testing the fit first: a GPU starts in about four minutes and is billed by the second on most models.

Three memory sizes

The H200 is a Hopper GPU with 141 GB of memory. The B200 is the Blackwell card with 180 GB. The B300 is the Blackwell Ultra card with 288 GB. The Blackwell cards also move data through memory faster: 8 TB per second, against 4.8 for the H200.

For a renter the first question is fit. A model that needs 150 GB does not run on one H200 at any price.

Three price levels

On 12 Nov 2026, the median listed on-demand price per GPU-hour was $5.40 for the H200, $8.34 for the B200 and $9.50 for the B300.

The lowest listed were $3.49, $3.50 and $6.60 in the same order. This site keeps tables for the H200 and the B200, with a label on each row for whether it can be started.

When the H200 is the right card

Choose the H200 when the model and its working memory fit in 141 GB with a margin. It is rented in sizes of one, two, four and eight GPUs, so you can take the amount you need and no more.

A setup that runs on an H200 today needs no changes to keep running on one. That is worth something when the alternative is a round of testing on a new card.

When to step up

Step up to a B200 when one H200 runs out of memory and two H200s would be the alternative. Compare one B200 with two H200s by hourly total, since that is the real choice. Step up to a B300 on the same reasoning, one rung higher.

Do not step up for speed on the strength of a price page. Run your own job on both cards and compare the cost of the finished work, not the cost of an hour.

Where Runcrate fits

Runcrate has 26 GPU models on offer from $0.23/hr, the H200 and the B300 among them. Billing is by the second on most GPUs, and booting is never billed. Runcrate can start an H200 now from $4.67 per GPU-hour.

Questions and answers

Runcrate is our editor’s choice for H200 prices: 26 GPU models from $0.23/hr, billing by the second on most GPUs, and the best developer platform we know. Runcrate publishes this site.

It has more memory and moves data through it faster. It is better for you only if your work uses that. If the model fits on an H200, price the H200 first.

Two H200s hold 282 GB between them, close to the 288 GB of one B300. The model must be split across the two cards, which adds overhead. Test it before you choose.
