Review in detail
RANCH Computing is a French render farm. Its terms state a capital of 78 500 EUR, registration in the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 492 804 547 and a head office at 189 Rue d'Aubervilliers in Paris.
The farm lists supported engines including Octane, Arnold, V-Ray, Redshift, Cycles and Eevee, Corona, Fstorm, Mantra, Karma and Renderman.
How does Ranch Computing charge?
The prices page lists GPU rendering in euro per OB-hour, with figures from 0.005 to 0.01 euro across Low, Medium and High tiers. CPU rendering is listed per GHz-hour, starting at 0.011 euro.
The page shows 'Prix HT', so prices exclude VAT. It also advertises up to +128 % bonus on bulk credit purchases and a 30 euro free credit offer.
How does it compare with KeyShot's cloud rendering?
Ranch Computing renders scenes made in other software, and KeyShot is not named in the software list we read. The user pays for rendering time, while KeyShot includes its own rendering in a seat price.
The farm also publishes pages about software prices, which are third-party summaries of Maxon and Autodesk plans and not Ranch pricing.
Which law governs the service?
The terms say the general terms of use are governed by French law and that disputes go to the courts of the registered office.
The privacy policy uses Trustpilot A/S for feedback collection, so reviewer details are shared with that firm.
Where it falls short
Ranch Computing is a farm, not a visualization tool, and KeyShot scenes are not listed. Data location is not stated. The prices page contains unfinished template text, so confirm the current rates.
Best suited to users of Ranch Computing
Ranch Computing suits artists using Blender or Cinema 4D who want euro-billed rendering from a French company.
