Built for assembly work you already pay cloud minutes for

RenderMac is not a generic GPU rental market. The wedge is post and assembly: stitch, caption burn-in, Remotion-class renders, and Mac-native encode: named services with artifacts you can poll or receive by webhook.

For buyers

Submit jobs like ffmpeg.stitch_export.v1, get a signed artifact URL. Beta usage is free, with no card or prepaid balance required. Explore buyer access →

For hosts

Run the RenderMac agent on a Mac mini or laptop. Pause anytime. This beta is unpaid: no wages, credits, reimbursements, earnings, or payouts. Explore unpaid host testing →

For proof

Big jobs: Mac power vs tiny cloud container dollars

Same 2026-07-22 bakeoff. Mac dollars are package electricity. Cloud dollars are Cloudflare Containers standard-1 rate-card estimates, not invoices. RenderMac beta jobs receive a $0 fee waiver.

Remotion 3 min kinetic ~$0.00017 vs ~$0.0435 CF rate-card 111.5 s on M2 Max vs 2175 s (~36 min) on CF live for the same composition. ~250× rate-card vs Mac electricity.
Remotion 20 min kinetic ~$0.001 vs ~$0.29 PROJECTED CF 679.5 s on M2 Max vs ~14502 s PROJECTED CF wall. Cloud $ projected ×20/3 from measured 3-minute live.
