Every way to get renders. Compared, honestly.
Freelancers, agencies, an in-house hire, AI tools, or Rendify's subscription - each gets your team renders. They just cost, scale, and deliver very differently. Here's the honest breakdown, so you can pick what actually fits your pipeline.
Four ways to buy renders. One that scales.
The trade-offs at a glance - what each model does well, and where it breaks down as your project volume grows.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know which plan to pick?
We can help guide you! Just book a call with us and we'll figure it out based on your team's needs as well as your expected 3D content volume and velocity. Let's find the best option, together.
How does onboarding works?
All our customers and new users have access to personalized onboarding run by your Rendify team. As new users get added to the system, they can easily be onboarded on a quick 30 min call. During the onboarding process, we quickly and efficiently get you ready to submit projects through a kick-off session where we unpack all the nuts and bolts of Rendify and your solution. In addition, we run a workshop with you, where we get to know you and your brand deeply, in order to deliver world class 3D content. Having an idea of your first project is incredibly helpful to get moving quickly.
Why wouldn't I just hire a full-time 3D artist?
Good question! For starters, the annual cost of a full-time senior-level 3D artist now exceeds $100,000, plus benefits (and good luck finding one available). Aside from that, you may not always have enough work to keep them busy at all times, so you're stuck paying for time you aren't able to utilize. With a Rendify plan, you can pause and resume your subscription as often as you need to ensure you're only paying 3D artists when you have work available for them.
What does "unlimited 3D modeling/rendering" really mean?
While it may seem like magic, submitting fifty 3D requests today does not guarantee their completion by tomorrow. However, our unlimited service truly lives up to its name. You have the freedom to submit as many requests as you desire, and our 3D artists will diligently work on the requests in your queue every single business day. And if we don't get it right the first time, there's no need to worry. Revisions are unlimited, as well.
To make the most of your subscription, you can keep your queue full or consider multiple subscriptions to enhance your daily design output.
How many 3D assets can I get in a month?
Rendify offers industry-leading speed without compromising quality. The amount of 3D assets we can complete for you each month depends on the project's complexity and your responsiveness to questions and feedback.
Is there a limit to how many requests I can have?
Once subscribed, you're able to add as many modeling and rendering requests to your queue as you'd like, and they will be delivered one by one.
We require a high volume of monthly 3D content deliverables, do you offer custom plans?
Yes, we offer the possibility of stacking up subscriptions. You can buy more than one subscription to increase your amount of active requests and volume of creative output.
How fast will I receive my models and renderings?
On average, most requests are completed in just 1 - 2 days or less. However, more complex requests can take longer if needed. Revisions are completed within 12 - 24 hours.
Where are Rendify's 3D artists located?
Rendify is a 100% remote company headquartered in Quebec City, Canada. We recruit talent throughout Asia, Europe, Australia, and North & South America to meet our customer's diverse 3D modeling/rendering needs. Our members are all full-time employees with competitive salaries and benefits. Rendify's vision is to create more equal opportunities globally by accelerating the world's transition to online work. That's why every "Rendifyer" gets an equal chance to shine, grow and earn market-leading compensation—regardless of location.
And you get the top 1% of global 3D talent working with you.
What programs do you model and render in?
Most of our 3D modeling work is made using AutoDesk 3DS Max. We then render using either Chaos® Corona or Chaos® V-Ray, depending on the use case.
How do I request 3D assets?
Rendify offers a ton of flexibility in how you request 3D assets using a crazy-simple 3D pipeline in Trello. Some common ways clients request designs is directly via Trello, sharing Google docs or even recording a brief Loom video (for those who prefer not to write their briefs out). Basically, if it can be linked to or shared in Trello, it's fair game.
What if I don't like the models and renderings?
No worries! Our 3D modeling and rendering services come with unlimited revisions, too. Meaning that we'll continue to revise your designs until you're 100% satisfied.
What if I only have a single request?
That's fine. You can pause your subscription when finished and return when you have additional design needs. There's no need to let the remainder of your subscription go to waste.
Are there any refunds if I don't like the service?
Due to the high quality nature of the work and the time that needs to be invested in each request, there will be no refunds issued.
