Billing and cost
Do I pay a seat fee for managed runners?
Quick answer
On runnerhut, no. Billing is per compute minute with no per-developer charge.
The detail that matters
Seat-based pricing on CI penalises exactly the thing you want — more people running more tests. Check for it when comparing vendors, because it changes the shape of the bill entirely.
