How much does an NVIDIA B200 GPU cost?

The NVIDIA B200 is the latest flagship GPU built on the Blackwell architecture. It’s engineered for next-generation AI workloads, offering a massive leap in performance and efficiency compared to its predecessor, the H200. With over 20 petaflops of FP4 compute, support for second-generation Transformer Engine, and an integrated NVLink Switch System, the B200 is tailored for model training at trillion-parameter scale, multi-GPU clusters, and AI inference at hyperscale.

But what does it cost to use a B200 in practice? Like its predecessors, the answer varies depending on how and where you access it. This article covers real-world pricing data across cloud platforms, compares options, and explains how Northflank offers a smooth path to production with B200-powered compute.

💭 What is Northflank?

Northflank is a full-stack AI cloud platform that helps teams build, train, and deploy models without infrastructure friction. GPU workloads, APIs, frontends, backends, and databases run together in one place so your stack stays fast, flexible, and production-ready.

B200 pricing from NVIDIA

As of August 2025, NVIDIA hasn’t published retail prices for B200 GPUs on its official site. However, early listings and OEM quotes suggest the following ballpark figures:

  • B200 192GB SXM: $45,000–$50,000 (depending on cooling and power configuration)
  • Complete 8x B200 server systems can exceed $500,000

B200s are currently only available through select partners and integrators, often bundled with high-end systems. Due to their scale and infrastructure needs, most developers and startups will rent B200s through cloud platforms rather than buy them outright.

B200 cloud pricing comparison

To make sense of the B200 cost, you need to account for more than just the GPU itself. Many platforms list low hourly rates but charge separately for the CPU, RAM, and storage needed to run workloads. Others offer bundled pricing but with tradeoffs in performance or stability.

Here’s how B200 hourly on-demand pricing break down across several popular platforms:

ProviderB200 (USD/hr)Notes
Northflank$5.87Fully bundled (GPU, CPU, RAM, storage). Fast startup, no quota required, full-stack AI platform.
Modal$6.25GPU-only pricing. CPU and RAM billed separately. Serverless model execution.
RunPod$8.64GPU only. Setup takes time, and automation is limited
Fireworks AI$11.99GPU-only pricing for hosted model serving. No quotas. Fast auto-scaling.
Baseten$9.98Fully managed model hosting. Includes CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage.
AWS$14.24May Require quota approval. Bundled node (CPU, RAM, disk). Startup takes minutes.
GCP$18.53GPU bundled with VM (CPU, RAM, disk). Requires regional GPU quota.

Why Northflank is better

Many platforms make it hard to see what you're really getting. You often have to manage CPUs, memory, storage, or deal with quota approvals before you can even start. That adds friction and slows you down.

Northflank keeps things simple. You get access to B200s with everything included. GPU, CPU, memory, and storage are already set up, so you can focus on running your code, not configuring infrastructure.

Northflank is also more than just GPU hosting. It’s a full-stack platform for AI teams. You can train models, serve APIs, run frontends or backends, and manage databases all in one place. Built-in CI, logs, metrics, and autoscaling help you move faster from idea to production without switching tools or writing extra config.

If you're looking for speed, simplicity, and a complete setup that works, Northflank gives you a better way to build and deploy AI.

Conclusion

The B200 is a powerful GPU, but cost and usability depend entirely on where you run it. Some platforms bury you in hidden fees or make setup painful. Others seem affordable but fail on reliability.

Northflank gives you fast, consistent access to B200s with clear pricing and no extra complexity. You get everything in one place: GPU, CPU, RAM, and storage, already configured and production-ready.

If you're ready to try it yourself, sign up and deploy your first B200. If you want to see how it fits your workflow, book a quick demo.

FAQs

What is the B200 price?

The NVIDIA B200 price for individual units hasn’t been officially published by NVIDIA. However, OEM quotes suggest prices around $45,000–$50,000 for the B200 192GB SXM model. Complete server systems with multiple B200s can exceed $500,000.

How much does the B200 cost on cloud platforms?

B200 cloud pricing varies widely depending on provider and whether resources like CPU, RAM, and storage are bundled. Rates range from $5.87/hour (on Northflank) up to $18.53/hour on major clouds like GCP. See the pricing comparison table above for details.

B200 vs H200: Which one should you go for?

If you're deciding between the B200 and H200, the B200 GPU offers better performance and efficiency for large-scale AI. However, the H200 can still be a good option for smaller workloads or if you're looking for a lower GPU cost. For a full breakdown, see our B200 vs H200 comparison.
