GitHub's own runners Standard runners for private repositories: Runner Label Per minute Linux 1-core x64 ubuntu-slim $0.002 Linux 2-core x64 ubuntu-latest $0.006 Linux 2-core arm64 ubuntu-24.04-arm $0.005 Windows 2-core x64 windows-latest $0.010 macOS 3-core M1 macos-latest $0.062 Public repositories get standard runners free and unlimited. Self-hosted runners have no per-minute charge: GitHub announced a $0.002 self-hosted fee for March 1, 2026, then postponed it with no new date. Included usage by plan Included usage is a dollar amount, not minutes. Each job's cost at its runner's rate comes off it. Plan Included a month 2 vCPU Linux minutes macOS minutes Free $12 2,000 193 Pro $18 3,000 290 Team $18 3,000 290 Enterprise Cloud $300 50,000 4,838 How a partial minute bills GitHub rounds each job up to the whole minute, so a matrix of 20 jobs that each run 61 seconds bills 40 minutes. Sengi and Latchkey round the same way; Depot, CRACI and tempus.build bill per second. On a 2.5-minute job at 2 vCPU that comes to $0.003 on Sengi Basic, $0.010 on CRACI and $0.018 on GitHub. The rate decides the bill more than the rounding does. A month at three sizes Runner 3,000 min, 2 vCPU 20,000 min, 4 vCPU 100,000 min, 8 vCPU Sengi Basic $0 $37 $397 GitHub-hosted (Team) $0 $222 $2,182 Blacksmith $0 $160 $1,600 Depot $26 $248 $2,408 Namespace $18 $190 $2,275 Each cell is minutes × list price, less free or included usage, plus the cheapest plan fee. Moving a job The runner is picked per job, so you can move the Linux jobs and leave macOS on GitHub: jobs: test: runs-on: sengi-basic-2-ubuntu-2404 # was: ubuntu-latest The full table with sources, larger sizes and macOS is at sengi.run/compare. Disclosure: Sengi Basic and Sengi Premium are our product. Every other price is from the provider's own page. Sengi Team
