About Polargrid
The brand-new NVIDIA RTX A4000 with 16GB VRAM, 6144 CUDA cores, 48RT cores, and 192 Tensor cores make your projects fly. For only €99 a week, you get 2 units of these for unlimited cloud rendering. The Polargrid RTX Flat has an Octanebench 2020.1 result of 855. This free program is for Blender Artists who have great ideas but no render resources. Polargrid is supporting the Blender Community with this offering. We see this as an investment into the Blender community. The only limitation is the resolution of your output images; The free service is limited to a frame size of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Your projects will render on incredibly fast AMD EPYC ROME 7642 48Core Blade Systems. Much faster and more reliable than any other free or paid Blender cloud service. The machines run on green energy in our new data center in Boden, Sweden.

Blendergrid
Blendergrid (Blender + Grid) is a grid of thousands of computers running Blender. This means we can help you save time, by rendering your project very quickly. In a nutshell: We do this by dividing your project into small bite-sized chunks (for computers), and rendering multiple chunks simultaneously on multiple different computers. This can make rendering more than a thousand times faster when comparing it with a regular personal computer.

ProRender Cloud
ProRender Cloud is a cloud GPU render farm for Blender, letting 3D artists and production teams send scenes to remote GPU workers rather than manage rendering hardware themselves. Its Blender add-on packages the Blender project and its linked assets, uploads the job, and lets users select a pool and follow render progress; users can also manage jobs through the cloud dashboard. The service offers Lowpool with RTX 4090 GPUs, Highpool with RTX 5090 GPUs, and Maxpool with RTX PRO 6000 GPUs for Blender Cycles work. Rendering tasks are distributed across cloud GPU workers, and completed image sequences, including PNG or OpenEXR frames, are available to download through the account. Billing is based on rendering time and GPU nodes used, with per-second charges and pool-level price limits. ProRender Cloud is aimed at independent artists, freelancers, animation studios, agencies, and other teams rendering Blender projects, including client productions.

TURNA
TURNA is a cloud render farm for Blender users. Install its add-on, open a scene and submit it for remote GPU rendering without manually uploading files or configuring a server. Animation frames can be split across one, two, four or eight GPUs, with RTX 5090 cards first and RTX 4090 cards otherwise, always on machines located in Europe (EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, UK). TURNA supports Blender 4.0–5.2 with Cycles and EEVEE; its add-on estimates render time and cost before launch, and your computer remains available while rendering runs. Charges are based on render time used, with a two-minute minimum per render, and failed renders are refunded. New accounts receive free rendering credit, with no credit card required. TURNA is run by SAS TURNA, a French company based in Paris, for Blender artists, animators, architects and studios.

CloudRender.farm
CloudRender Farm is a web-based rendering service that helps 3D artists finish demanding projects faster while keeping their own computers free for modeling, animation, and other creative work. Users package and upload a project, submit software-specific render settings through the website or the integrated Blender submitter, monitor the job, and download the completed frames when rendering is finished. It automatically scales render machines for each job according to the number of submitted frames, providing flexible computing capacity without a waiting queue or an in-house render farm. It supports multiple current and legacy versions of Blender, Maya with Arnold or Redshift, Cinema 4D with Redshift or Arnold, and Houdini with Mantra, Redshift, or Arnold. Additional software versions and custom machine images can be prepared for specialized production requirements.
