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
-
Enter your preferences for "Service", "Renderer" and "Machine".
-
Submit 5 to 10 representative frames.
-
Enter the average render time (see "Average Task Time" in the screenshot example below) into "Ave. Render Time per frame (mins)".
-
Enter the total number of frames in the "Frames" box.
-
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.
