Build freely.
Compute on your terms.

Build and run DFT or MD on your own computer for free. Use separately activated cloud compute when you need more capacity.

Two ways to compute.

Local compute is free. Cloud prices are in USD; IDR is an estimate. Paid Cloud access is by arrangement.

Institutional access

Quanta

A simple unit for cloud compute. Start small, use fractions, and keep every run connected to a clear cost.

Compute-only estimate, not a quote. Disk, storage, requests, data transfer, and taxes are separate. Instance availability must be confirmed. Rates updated 2026-09-07.

Room for your research.

Optional monthly storage. Independent of your compute plan.

Launch storage offers, subject to activation. These are total storage capacities, not extra free allowances. Storage does not unlock cloud simulations. Requests, downloads, transfer, and taxes are quoted separately; no unlimited bandwidth. Until activation, your account’s existing limits apply.

Before you begin.

What can I do for free?

Use DFT Lab and Figure Lab, and run DFT or MD simulations on your connected computer. Cloud compute requires separate activation.

Why Quanta?

Quanta is the Phynite compute credit. One Quanta represents US$1, with fractional usage. A $0.45 calculation uses 0.45 Quanta. Credit packs have the same exchange rate for consistent, straightforward pricing.

Is local compute free?

Yes. Connect one computer per account and run on your own CPU without a Phynite activation or hourly local compute fee. You provide the hardware, electricity, and internet. Existing storage and transfer limits still apply.

What does the cloud estimate cover?

It covers the selected compute size and its billed duration. Duration includes machine startup and setup while the instance is billed, with a 60-second minimum. Disk, storage, requests, data transfer, and taxes are not included in this compute-only estimate; they must be included in your activation quote. vCPUs are virtual CPUs, not a promise of dedicated physical cores.

Can I use Spot instances?

Spot capacity can be discussed for suitable jobs. Its rate changes and instances can be interrupted. We do not advertise a fixed discount or include Spot in this estimate. Pricing is confirmed before activation.

Can I pay and start immediately?

Cloud compute and additional storage are activated by arrangement. The team confirms capacity, payment, and terms before activation. Local compute is included with Free; this page does not take payments or add credits to your account.
