Price Plans

A Price Plan defines the per-second rates for each GPU instance type. All billing accounts are assigned to the active default price plan.

Understanding Rates

Each rate entry specifies:

Field	Description
`meter`	The billing meter (always `gpu_instance_seconds`)
`unit`	`second`
`unit_price`	Cost per second in USD
`dimensions`	Instance type and region this rate applies to

Example Rate

An g5.xlarge at AWS on-demand pricing (~$1.006/hr) would have a per-second rate of approximately:

$1.006 / 3600 ≈ $0.000279 per second

GPU Instance Reference Pricing

The table below shows approximate on-demand hourly rates for common GPU instance types. Xinference uses these as a baseline for the default price plan.

Instance Type	GPU	VRAM	Approx. $/hr
`g4dn.xlarge`	T4	16 GB	~$0.526
`g5.xlarge`	A10G	24 GB	~$1.006
`g5.2xlarge`	A10G	24 GB	~$1.212
`g5.12xlarge`	4× A10G	96 GB	~$5.672
`p3.2xlarge`	V100	16 GB	~$3.060
`p4d.24xlarge`	8× A100 40 GB	320 GB	~$32.77

Note

These are reference prices. Contact your account manager for current Xinference sell prices.

Default Plan

On first startup, Xinference seeds a default price plan (aws-ondemand-default) derived from AWS on-demand list prices. This is a placeholder — confirm sell prices should be loaded via the admin CLI before going live.

Changing Prices

Prices are immutable once published. To change rates:

Create a new price plan with a new code (e.g. aws-ondemand-2025-q3).
Import it via the CLI or admin API.
All billing accounts are automatically pointed to the new plan.
Already-rated usage retains its historical rate snapshot.

CLI (Self-Hosted)

python -m app.cli.import_price_plan path/to/prices.json

JSON format:

{
  "code": "aws-ondemand-2025-q3",
  "name": "AWS On-Demand Q3 2025",
  "currency": "USD",
  "rates": [
    {
      "meter": "gpu_instance_seconds",
      "unit": "second",
      "unit_price": "0.000280",
      "dimensions": {
        "instance_type": "g5.xlarge",
        "region": "us-east-1"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Pass --no-activate to import without switching accounts to the new plan immediately.
