Pay-as-you-go pricing that scales with you

How Render Farm Pricing Works

We offer rendering prices affordable to individual specialists and flexible to any professional company’s needs. We have good deals for rendering individual scenes and big animation projects alike. Our render farm pricing depends on two main things: rates and volume discount. 

MegaCredits

We use an internal currency to determine the rendering cost at Megarender: the MegaCredit (MC). A single reference processor working on your project for one hour costs 1 MC. Such processors were once the basis of our renderfarm, but since then we’ve upgraded our fleet. Therefore, an hour of rendering on a much more powerful Threadripper 3990X at Standard rate equals 7 MC. This may be hard to grasp at first; this is why we offer 30 MC to each new user (they are granted after you confirm your phone number in the ‘Bonuses’ tab) to test our service and figure out how everything works. 1 MC costs $1 but we offer special volume discounts.

Rates

As you sign up for Megarender, you will be able to choose between four rates. Each offers a different render costs calculation multiplier and the amount of rendering nodes available to you. Keep in mind that rendering a single static image will take the same amount of time at any rate chosen, but will be priced differently. To really feel the advantages of higher rates, launch an animation sequence or several tasks at once.

1. Light. This is the default rate available to you after you create your account, and suits freelancers the best. An hour of rendering on a Threadripper takes 6.16 MC. You can launch one task at a time; if we’re experiencing a high workload, your projects will be given the lowest priority compared to the other rates. This rate provides the cheapest render, but you sacrifice speed.
2. Standard. Our most popular rate. An hour of rendering on a Threadripper takes 7 MC. You can launch 3 tasks at a time without a need to wait. This rate guarantees fast launch if there is no extra load at the farm.
3. Pro. A good choice for professional studios. An hour of rendering on a Threadripper takes 8 MC. You can simultaneously launch up to 5 tasks. Your projects will launch with high priority, granting you faster times than usual.
4. Business. Get the most out of the price of your rendering. An hour of rendering on a Threadripper takes 8.96 MC. You can launch 6 tasks at a time, and we are ready to allocate extra processing power for bigger projects. Your projects are a top priority for us. Do you need special software installed? Octane Render? Whatever you need, reach out and we will find a solution together.

Choose your rate depending on the specifics of your current project. You will be able to change it at any moment. On our render farm the pricing always adjusts with your needs.

Volume discount

The bigger the amount of MC you buy, the cheaper each MC is. You get 10% for a purchase of over $500, and the maximum discount of 50% applies with each payment of over $7,500. You don’t have to do this in a single transaction: if you make several smaller purchases with a short time period in between, you will still receive the discount. The size of the time period corresponds with the payment size.

How much will my project cost?

If all of the above seemed a bit confusing, don’t worry. You can use our calculator to determine the approximate rendering cost for your scene. Provide the number of frames you need and how long it takes to finish one frame on your computer, pick your processor and click ‘Calculate’. You will see how long your project will run on our computers and the prices for MC packs needed.

Megarender is one of the cheapest render farms there is. Our support team works 24/7 and is always available through the chat in the online service. Even if you need to make long animations or high resolution exterior rendering, the cost won’t bankrupt you.
