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.

$/min, us-east-1 prices. Includes compute + storage costs
for the most recent EC2 family types (m7a*,m7i*, m7g*).
Savings are even higher if you include the speed gains or switch
to previous-generation instance types.
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!
