Machine Pricing
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.
-
Machines are charged per second, not per hour
-
Your job might run on a higher-performance machine to balance inventory
-
Arnold renders are currently only available on GM6400 CPUs and any GPU
Dynamic pricing
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.
Update Your Service Plan Anytime
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.

How to Use the Cost & Time Calculator
-
Submit 5-10 representative frames from your scene
-
Select the Service Plan, Renderer, and Machine used for the test
-
Enter the Average Task Time from Envoy as "Ave. Render Time per frame (mins)"
-
Enter the total number of frames you need to render
-
Review your estimated time and cost based on your selected Service Level
What you’ll see:
-
Est. Time (hh:mm:ss) = estimated time in hours : minutes : seconds to complete the job
-
Est. Cost (USD) = estimated job cost.
Note: These estimates are based on the machine type you selected. Times for other machines are rough estimates from historical data. 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.
