Yes, GridMarkets offers a free trial for new users. When you sign up,(https://portal.gridmarkets.com/init/default/register?vertical=media) you receive 5 free credits to test our services. These credits can be used to render a small number of frames to get a feel for our platform.

Use our calculator (https://www.gridmarkets.com/pricing-overview/hourly#calculator)to help you estimate the cost & time of your jobs. Using the free credits provided when you received your account, submit 5 to 10 representative frames. Enter the frame times for those samples into the calculator - and an estimate will then be generated. Submission costs are determined by your choice of: • application & renderer(https://www.gridmarkets.com/versions) • machine type(https://www.gridmarkets.com/pricing-overview/hourly#machine-pricing) • machine count(https://www.gridmarkets.com/pricing-overview/hourly#service-plans) These options are all configurable from within Envoy or when submitting your job.
