RenderDay vs RenderStreet

RenderStreet sells a flat monthly plan and per-server-hour rates from a calculator you fill in yourself. RenderDay renders your scene first and quotes one number.

Which one fits your job

Both cases, on one screen. If the answer is the other one, that is a better outcome than a refund.

Pick RenderStreet if

RenderStreet is the better pick if you want a long operating history and Modo support: it has run since 2012, states more than 130 million frames delivered across 112 countries, and supports Blender back to 2.75 on request, plus Blender Internal, LuxCore, and Modo 12.2 to 17.0, where RenderDay renders Blender only. Submission is more flexible too: a Blender or Modo add-on, direct web upload, FTP, Dropbox, Google Drive, or a REST API, against RenderDay’s web-upload-only intake. If you render constantly, RenderStreet’s flat $59.97-a-month unlimited-CPU subscription can undercut a per-job model, since RenderDay has no subscription option at all.

Pick RenderDay if

For a single job on a fixed budget, the difference is the quote: one exact price after a free test render of your own scene, before you pay anything. RenderStreet’s on-demand rates come from a self-service calculator based on numbers you enter, not a rendered test of your actual scene, and its own end-user license agreement caps total liability at $100.
