Blender render farm pricing
Pay only for the minutes Blender actually renders. No subscription, no minimum spend, no seat fees. Every render runs on an NVIDIA RTX 5090.
Billed in 20-minute blocks while Blender runs. Drops to about $2.25 per render hour on the largest credit pack.
Traditional Blender render farms charge $5 to $9 per render hour, and most of them ask for a subscription or a minimum top-up before you can render anything at all.
Free credits are included with every new account, enough to finish your first render without entering a card.
Credit packs
Rendering is paid for with credits. One credit equals 20 minutes of render time on an RTX 5090. Larger packs bring the effective hourly rate down.
Starter
10 credits
About 3 hours 20 minutes of render time.
Pro
50 credits
About 16 hours 40 minutes of render time.
Studio
200 credits
About 66 hours 40 minutes of render time.

How billing works
You pay for render time only
The meter starts when Blender begins rendering and stops when it finishes. Uploading your scene, waiting for a GPU, and downloading finished frames are all free.
20-minute blocks
Render time is charged in 20-minute blocks, one credit per block. A 25-minute render costs 2 credits; a 5-minute test render costs 1.
No subscription
There is no monthly fee and no minimum spend. Buy credits when you need them. Unused credits stay on your account and do not expire.
Stop any time
You can cancel a running render from the dashboard. Billing stops at the end of the current block, and reserved credits you did not use are returned.
What is included at no extra cost
- NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs with OPTIX acceleration in Cycles and GPU-accelerated EEVEE.
- GPU denoising (OIDN) so noisy test renders clean up without extra samples.
- Automatic dependency upload, textures, linked libraries, fonts, sounds, caches and VDB volume sequences are detected and shipped with the scene.
- Custom add-ons, your own Blender add-ons are installed on the render machine so the scene renders exactly as it does locally.
- Custom OCIO color configs, colour management matches your local setup.
- Live frame streaming, watch frames appear in the browser while the render is still running.
- Native Blender add-on, submit straight from Blender instead of exporting and uploading by hand.
- Upload deduplication, unchanged files from an earlier render are reused instead of being uploaded again.
