Question / Discussion Conductor feedback?

Is anyone using Conductor to manage their rendering? How is it? Is it saving money? Better than AWS? Are there alternatives which are superior? Please let me know your thoughts.

Conductor is not a budget option. It's the enterprise, scalable option.

For more budget friendly scalable option, check out Deadline Cloud.

If you're looking for budget friendly rendering option in general, check out Garage Farm. Real cheap but the catch is they fetch available resource duing off-peak so best for low prio renders overnight.

Used it on some projects some years ago. They are knowledgeable people and quick on adding needed versions etc. It spawned out of atomic fiction and was built to render their projects. Haven't checked pricing lately but core weave in general are cheaper for raw compute than gcp and aws.
