Metered compute
Pay for the workstation, not an idle cluster
Pay only for what you use, billed daily per workstation. Platform fees above cover features and support; compute is separate and metered. Stopped workstations still reserve their CPU, memory, and storage on the server, so a small parked-workstation fee may apply. Delete unused workstations to fully stop charges.
Compute Tiers
| Tier | Specs | Good For | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | 1-2 CPU · 2-4 GB | Office, web, light dev | $0.80/day ~$24/mo |
| Standard | 3-4 CPU · 5-8 GB | General dev workstation, light CAD | $1.50/day ~$45/mo |
| Performance | 5-8 CPU · 9-16 GB | Heavy compile, video editing, moderate 3D | $3.50/day ~$105/mo |
| Power | 9-16 CPU · 17-32 GB | Big compile, rendering, ML inference | $6.50/day ~$195/mo |
| Workstation | 17-32 CPU · 33-64 GB | Simulation, multi-process workloads, large dev envs | $12.00/day ~$360/mo |
Tier is matched by your workstation's allocated CPU and RAM at provisioning. Both must fall in range, otherwise the next tier up applies. Need more than 32 vCPUs or 64 GB on a single workstation? Talk to us for a custom quote.
Flat fee per stopped workstation. Delete a workstation to fully stop charges.
GPU Add-on (by VRAM)
| VRAM | Use Case | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | Video decode, basic accel | $0.50/day ~$15/mo |
| 2 GB | Light 3D, multi-monitor | $1.00/day ~$30/mo |
| 4 GB | CAD, moderate 3D | $2.00/day ~$60/mo |
| 6 GB | Heavy CAD, rendering | $3.00/day ~$90/mo |
| 8 GB | Full GPU, light ML | $5.00/day ~$150/mo |
| 12 GB | Flex 140 full card | $7.00/day ~$210/mo |
| 16 GB | T4, Flex 170 | $9.00/day ~$270/mo |
| 24 GB | L4, RTX 4090 | $15.00/day ~$450/mo |
GPU rates apply only while the workstation is running.
Dedicated Server (org)
EnterpriseReserve an entire physical server 1:1 for your organization. Your org's workstations schedule onto it first, hidden from every other customer. Predictable performance, isolated workload, full server capacity available to your VMs.
Flat reservation surcharge, billed on top of standard metered compute usage. Final price scales with the server's CPU, RAM, and GPUs (a small box with a couple of low-end GPUs sits at the floor; a 64-core host with multiple A100s is higher). No annual commit required. Talk to sales for a quote.
- Your workstations get scheduled here first (spillover to shared servers if it fills)
- Invisible to other tenants: no shared capacity, no shared GPUs, no shared network
- Same Canvex control plane, same provisioning UX, same browser streaming
- Bring your own hardware (coming soon): host the server on your own premises
Dedicated Workstation (per user)
Business+A physical workstation hosted in your region, allocated 1:1 to one user. No VM, no shared GPU slice, direct PCIe access to the actual silicon. Same browser-streamed experience as the rest of Canvex. For CAD, AEC, and EDA engineers whose work outgrew the shared GPU tiers.
CAD / AEC
Xeon W · 128–256 GB · RTX 6000 Ada
from ~$700/mo
EDA
Dual EPYC · 512–1024 GB · optional H100
from ~$1,800/mo
AI / ML
32–64 cores · 256–512 GB · 1–4× H100
quote
Flat monthly per workstation, month-to-month with 30-day cancellation notice. Final price varies by exact SKU and region; talk to us for a quote against your spec sheet.
- No VM layer. Direct PCIe access to GPU, NVMe, and USB; ISV-cert workflows behave like a workstation under your desk.
- Locked to one user. The machine's serial number is yours for the term.
- BMC console access for OS-won't-boot recovery, same as a workstation you owned.
- Move a workspace between SKUs across projects without reinstalling. The workspace doesn't care which machine it lives on this month.

Frequently asked questions
Can I switch plans at any time?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. When upgrading, you'll be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your billing period. When downgrading, the new rate will take effect at your next billing date.
What happens when I hit my resource quota?
You won't be able to create new workstations until you free up resources by deleting existing ones or upgrade your plan. Your existing workstations will continue to work normally.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and can arrange invoicing for Enterprise customers.
Is there a free trial for paid plans?
Yes, all plans come with a 3-day free trial. You can explore the dashboard before adding billing info.
