Upcoming GPU Pricing Updates

Effective August 1st, 2026, we will be updating prices on select GPUs. This change reflects strong demand for advanced GPU capacity and helps us expand reliable access to high-performance compute for customers. Even with the updated rates, DigitalOcean continues to offer some of the most competitive GPU infrastructure pricing in the market. Below is a detailed breakdown of these upcoming changes and how they affect you. Effective August 1, 2026, on-demand pricing for NVIDIA and AMD GPU droplets will be updated as follows: What this means for your bill: Any active workloads running on or after August 1, 2026 will be billed at the new rate. By continuing to access or use the services on or after August 1, 2026, you are agreeing to accept and pay the updated rates. These changes will be reflected in your total bill on September 1, 2026. If you do not wish to continue using the service at the updated rate, you will need to take action by August 1, 2026 to destroy your GPU Droplets. For teams running predictable, continuous training or inference workloads, reserved plans remain the most cost-effective way to lock in lower rates. Effective August 1, 2026, we’re also adjusting our 12-month reserved pricing: What this means for your bill: If you’re currently in a contract with us that locks in your rate, there is no change to your rate. If you choose to renew after your terms expires, your rates will be adjusted to the new 12-month reserved rate outlined above. If you have questions about how these changes will impact your specific workloads, or if you want to explore reserving capacity, please contact our sales team—we’re here to help you find the most cost-efficient path forward.
