How this page is made: every figure above is computed from the plans listed, which were checked against each provider's own pricing page (linked per plan, with the date). Nothing here is ranked by who pays us. The highlighted plan is each provider's best on price per GB of VRAM. Non-USD prices are converted at an approximate fixed rate for comparison only.
