The features page has a pricing table: https://github.com/features/actions https://github.com/features/actions It is totally free for public repos. For private repos: - Free accounts get 2000 free minutes - Pro accounts get 3000 free minutes - Team accounts get 10k free minutes - Enterprise accounts get 50k free minutes Additional runner minutes are: - Linux: $0.008 per min - Windows: $0.016 per min - macOS: $0.08 per min (yeah that's not a typo, it is copied straight from the page, macOS is mad expensive)

Thanks! I'm not sure if for large open source projects, these machines will be nearly enough to run the CI jobs. The price for Linux seems quite steep when you compare with for example what you pay with GCP. It will be interesting to see the Github security teams catching those "public" repos doing nasty stuff like mining crypto - even with hard timeouts on each job it will be cool to see how this plays out!

  Since you will eventually be able to use your own agents ("coming soon"), pricing shouldn't really be a problem.

  For large open source projects it's free. Over time I can see them expanding their feature set including more powerful machines.

    I didn't mean about the costs for large OS projects but on the requirements. As an example, in my experience, I couldn't build the `semantic` project (https://github.com/github/semantic https://github.com/github/semantic) with those requirements.

The macOS pricing isn't all that surprising because there isn't really a great way to legally run OSX servers.

macOS pricing makes sense given that Windows and Linux runners are probably standard VMs on some Azure host, while macOS runners are on their own rack-ified set of Mac Minis. (What MacStadium does)

> - macOS: $0.08 per min (yeah that's not a typo, it is copied straight from the page, macOS is mad expensive) Roughly inline with what other CI providers charge for MacOS per minute. Circle CI cheapest plan is 0.0498 per minute, but you need to pay USD$249 per month to get up to 5000 minutes. To make it that cheap you need to use all of your minutes up.

That’s much better than the azure devops pricing which is super confusing which is tied to monthly plans. For teams, azure devops costs between 6-52/month/user and includes many features not needed for a standard GitHub+CircleCI (or gitlab) project.

2000 minutes -free- on macOS is unheard of. Is there any other providers do anything like that? Finally I can run my iOS Unit Tests for free without a farm of on-prem Macs!
