Hourly Plan: Render Smarter not Harder

  • Pay-as-you-go billing

  • Billing by the machine-second


Hourly Plan Calculator

Use the calculator that follows to estimate the total cost of your submission.  If you prefer to see our pricing in a table format, see HERE.

  • "Service Level" = the maximum concurrent machines count/submission (see "Max. Machines)"

  • "Machine-Hour Cost (USD)" = the cost of running  one machine for one hour

  • "Est. Time (hh:mm:ss)" = Elapsed time in hours:minutes:sec to complete the submission

  • "Est. Cost (Credits)" = cost estimate (in GridMarkets credits)​

How to Find Your Average Render Time per Frame

​

​

  1. Enter your preferences for "Service", "Renderer" and "Machine".

  2. Submit 5 to 10 representative frames.

  3. Enter the average render time (see "Average Task Time"  in the screenshot example below) into "Ave. Render Time per frame (mins)".

  4. Enter the total number of frames in the "Frames" box.

  5. Hit "Calculate" to get your estimate.

Hourly Plan Pricing

This table describes the Hourly Plan machine-hour pricing for varying rendering services ("Service"), machine configurations ("CB | OB rating") and, machine counts. 

 

For machine counts, our discounted Economy Service provides 1 to 5 machines; our Standard Service offers 6 to 40 machines and our Rush Service delivers 41 to 100 machines.  If your project requires more than 100 machines, consider our Daily Plan and Weekly Plan, or contact us at Support@GridMarkets.com.​

​

The Hourly Plan includes 1 TB of storage.  If you need more, consider our Daily Plan and Weekly Plan, or contact us at Support@GridMarkets.com.

* Costs are represented in $US/machine-hour.  We charge by the machine-second.  Costs are all inclusive (i.e. machine time; operating system and software licenses; data egress and 15 days of data storage are included).

"OB" refers to a machine's approximate Octane Benchmark performance used to deliver the service.

"CB" refers to a machines CINEBENCH performance.

Note: To help balance its machine inventory, GridMarkets may run your submission on the performance equivalent of your machine selection. Your project costs and performance will not be impacted in such cases.
