Upcoming changes to Workflows pricing
Summary
Render is moving Workflows to a new Flex compute plan that charges per‑second usage at $0.20/CPU‑hour and $0.05/GB‑hour, adds per‑workflow resource limits, and starts billing task state retention at $0.25/GB. Existing Starter/Standard workloads will auto‑migrate on Sep 1, with most users seeing lower costs.
- Flex plan bills $0.20 per active CPU‑hour and $0.05 per active GB‑hour, with a 1 s minimum at 0.1 CPU/0.1 GB.
- Tasks waiting on LLMs or external APIs can see up to 70% cost reduction under Flex.
- Per‑workflow limits replace workspace‑wide concurrency: up to 32 CPU/128 GB per minute for Pro workspaces.
- Task state retention (inputs/outputs) will be billed at $0.25 per GB per month.
Any team running Render Workflows needs to understand the new pricing and resource limits to budget accurately and avoid surprise charges.
