Is render no longer free?

I've been hearing rumors that Render, the popular cloud rendering service, is no longer offering its services free of charge. Is this true? I remember when I first started using Render, it was a great tool for quickly and easily rendering my 3D projects without breaking the bank. But now, with these whispers of a potential price change, I'm starting to feel a bit concerned. Could you please clarify? Has Render indeed made the switch to a paid-only model? If so, what are the new pricing options and how do they compare to what was previously offered? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this matter as Render has been a vital part of my workflow.
