Special deals for large projects and studios
As this diagram shows, pricing is dynamic. You'll be limited to the maximum number of machines allowed by your selected Service Plan, but will only pay for the number and types of machines you're actually using at any given moment.
When you sign up, you'll receive 5 free credits and start on the Economy plan. To prevent accidentally using all your free credits on a large job that might not finish, you can only select a higher Service Plan after purchasing additional credits.
You can choose your preferred Service Plan directly in Envoy, giving you complete control over your rendering throughput.
Need more than 100 machines? No worries - just email support@gridmarkets.com
Pro tip: If your credit balance reaches zero, any running jobs will be suspended, and will be stopped once past your overdraft limit. But don’t worry - you will receive a warning email before you run out of credits, and you can also sign up for real-time low credit warnings via WhatsApp.
Pay for real performance, not just specs
Prices are shown per machine-hour, but billing is by the second
The cost of each machine is based on its performance - CINEBENCH (CB) scores for CPUs and OctaneBench (OB) scores for GPUs.
GridMarkets now offers ultra-high-performance nodes delivering 6x the speed of an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D with 380GB RAM
Built for high-resolution scenes, complex lighting, and heavy volumetrics, these machines are ideal for studios & artists tackling the most demanding projects with tight production deadlines.

Job durations can vary depending on scene complexity, I/O, and other factors. For the most accurate results, try rerunning your tests on different machine types and update the timings.
