This render farm cost calculator shows what a render job costs on cloud render farms, with per-OctaneBench-hour farms and hourly GPU rentals side by side. First, enter what the job costs you on your own machine. Then the tool converts it into each farm’s billing unit. Want features instead of prices? Compare render farms on the next page, or read our cost per frame guide.
The same data the calculator uses. Every price comes from the farm’s own pricing page, and each row shows the date we checked it.

workload = your OB score × minutes per frame ÷ 60 × frames
cost = workload × price per OB-hour
If you choose a bulk pack, the calculator applies the best published bonus or discount step. It shows a “100% bonus” as what it really is: about 50% off, because you receive twice the credit for the money.
render hours = frames × your minutes per frame × your OB ÷ node OB ÷ 60
cost = (render hours + setup hours) × hourly rate
The calculator picks the cheapest node size that meets your deadline. It uses the rate for paying 3+ hours at once when the billed time reaches 3 hours.

Because you pay for setup (upload, install, test render) as well as render time. For a single still, that overhead can outweigh the render itself.
Only when the farm says the price includes them. Rows show a warning when you need to bring your own license.
A farm gets a rank only when its own official pricing page publishes a rate we can turn into a job cost: per OctaneBench-hour, per GPU-hour of render time, or per hour for a rented GPU workstation. If the page gives only a CPU price, a daily rental, a per-job calculator or nothing we could read, we show what it says and leave the ranking empty instead of guessing.
We re-check them against the official pages at the start of each month, and again whenever someone reports a wrong price. The date next to each price tells you when we last confirmed it.
