# Pricing Your Servers

Setting the right price for your **GPU rental** on Nebula AI is crucial to **maximizing earnings** while staying competitive in the decentralized marketplace. Unlike traditional cloud providers, Nebula AI allows you to **set your own rates** or use **dynamic pricing** to adjust based on market demand.

***

### **Understanding GPU Rental Pricing**

Nebula AI’s pricing model is based on:

**Compute Demand** – AI workloads, rendering, and deep learning tasks require different GPU specs.\
**Market Competition** – Other GPU hosts influence pricing based on availability.\
**Hardware Performance** – Higher-end GPUs (A100, 4090, 3090) command premium rates.

Unlike **mining-based pricing models**, Nebula AI focuses on **AI, cloud computing, and general high-performance tasks**—ensuring **real demand** drives pricing.

### **Setting Your Rental Price**

#### **Manual Pricing (Fixed Rate)**

You can set a **fixed price per hour** for your GPU rental.

* This price is entered in **$NAI** (adjustable in USD equivalent).
* The system will convert the amount to **ETH (if enabled)** for renters using alternative payment methods.
* You can update prices at any time from the **Hosting Dashboard**.

#### **Dynamic Pricing (Recommended)**

* Enable **dynamic pricing** to allow the system to **adjust rates based on GPU demand**.
* Uses **real-time market conditions** to optimize pricing.
* Ensures **your GPU remains competitively priced** while maximizing profitability.

#### **Example: Setting a Competitive Price**

| **GPU Model** | **Recommended Price (Hourly, $NAI)** |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| RTX 4090      | $0.90 – $1.20                        |
| RTX 3090      | $0.60 – $0.85                        |
| RTX 3080      | $0.50 – $0.75                        |
| RTX 3070      | $0.40 – $0.60                        |
| A100          | $2.00 – $3.00                        |

### **Spot vs. On-Demand Rentals**

#### **Spot Rentals (Lower Cost, Flexible)**

* Renters pay a **lower rate** but can be outbid by another renter.
* Ideal for users who **don’t require guaranteed uptime** but want **cheaper compute power**.

#### **On-Demand Rentals (Higher Cost, Guaranteed)**

* **Exclusive access** to your GPU for the entire rental duration.
* **Higher pricing** but guarantees **uninterrupted compute time** for renters.

{% hint style="info" %}
Set **Spot Pricing** slightly lower than **On-Demand Pricing** to attract different types of renters.
{% endhint %}

***

### **Auto-Pricing System (Soon)**

Nebula AI will introduce **an automated pricing system** that:

* Adjusts rental rates **based on supply & demand**.
* Prioritizes **high-uptime GPUs** for premium pricing.
* Helps hosts **maximize revenue without manual adjustments**.

***

### **Fee Structure & Earnings Calculation**

* **Rental Fees**: Nebula AI takes a **small commission per rental** (Exact % TBA).
* **Final Earnings**: Your earnings are **automatically credited in $NAI** and can be withdrawn or reinvested in staking.
