GitHub Action pricing calculator
With RunsOn, you can potentially save thousands of dollars per year on your workflow costs.
On this page you will find:
- a comparison table of official GitHub action runners prices vs RunsOn machines on AWS.
- a chart to visualize your savings compared to GitHub, for various numbers of minutes consumed and runner types.
Pricing per min for GitHub vs RunsOn
Note: this is the pricing with the most recent EC2 family types (m7a*,m7i*). You can get even more savings by switching to
previous-generation instance types.

Note: this is the pricing with the most recent EC2 family types (m7g*). You can get even more savings by switching to previous-generation
instance types.

$/min, us-west-2 prices.
Includes compute + storage costs.
Savings are even higher if you include the speed gains.
Notes:
- GitHub Action runners are free for public repositories, so obviously the GitHub prices only apply for minutes used in private GitHub repositories.
- The RunsOn prices are for the most recent and fastest instance types (m7a/c7a). If you accept to use (still faster than GitHub!) previous-generation instance types, you can get even cheaper prices!
