Limits

• CI minutes: 2,000 minutes a monthPrivate repositories, standard Linux 2-core runners

• Public repositories can use standard GitHub-hosted runners for free, with no minute limit.
• Without a payment method on file, jobs are blocked once the 2,000 minutes are used. With one, extra minutes cost $0.006 each on a Linux 2-core runner.
• Billed minutes cost more on other runners: $0.010 for Windows 2-core and $0.062 for macOS. Larger runners are always billed and cannot use the included minutes.
• Includes 500 MB of artifact storage and 10 GB of cache storage per repository.
• Each job is rounded up to the next whole minute.

Usage pricing

• CI minutes: $0.006 per minute (above 3,000 minutes)

• GitHub's pricing page shows $4 per user per month for the first 12 months. It does not show a price after month 12, so check github.com/pricing before budgeting for a second year.
• 3,000 minutes a month are shared by the whole organization, not per user. Extra minutes are $0.006 on a Linux 2-core runner, and larger runners are always billed.
• Includes 2 GB of artifact storage and 10 GB of cache storage per repository. Storage above that is $0.25 per GB-month for artifacts and $0.07 for cache.
• A personal GitHub Pro account also includes 3,000 minutes; its price is not shown on GitHub's pricing page, so it is not listed here.
