Limits worth knowing in Renderforest
- Prices were read from the rendered page as annual billing; a monthly-billed price was not shown in the same view.
- The page shows each annual price next to a higher crossed-out figure, and its own structured data lists different prices.
- Credits are a yearly pool, and expensive models use many more of them than the Renderforest Fast model.
- The plan table mentions a mobile app subscription but the pages read do not list supported devices.
