Pricing

Half the price, before you count the time saved

Per-minute rates against GitHub-hosted list prices. The real saving is larger, because a runner that finishes in half the time bills half as many minutes.

EU hosting

Your builds never leave the EU

Compute, cache, logs, metrics and support access — all pinned to the EU region you choose. Not just the compute. Residency that covers only compute is not residency.

runnerhut

Everything GitHub-hosted runners leave on the table

The bottleneck is rarely the CPU. It is the cache, the disk and the queue — and for European teams, where the whole thing runs.

Unlimited cache at 1 GB/s

No 10 GB repository cap and no throttling. Caches are organisation-scoped, so a new branch starts warm instead of cold.

Persistent Docker layer cache

A warm BuildKit instance your job attaches to in under two seconds. Nothing is exported to a registry and pulled back.

Native arm64, 20% cheaper

Real aarch64 cores rather than QEMU. Multi-arch images build 5–40× faster and cost less per minute than x64.

macOS, Windows and GPU

Apple silicon with Xcode preinstalled, Windows Server with Build Tools, and NVIDIA runners GitHub does not offer at all.

Per-job cost and utilization

Duration percentiles, cache hit rate and spend per workflow, label and repository — so you tune the right thing.

Your cloud, if you want it

Run inside your own AWS, GCP or Azure account with your VPC, your IAM and your data residency boundary.

Three steps, about five minutes

There is no agent to install and no infrastructure to operate.

01
Install the app
Authorise the runnerhut GitHub App for the repositories you want to accelerate.
02
Change runs-on
Swap ubuntu-latest for a runnerhut label. Nothing else in your workflow changes.
03
Watch the numbers
Per-job duration, cache hit rate and cost land in your dashboard from the first run.
