Billing and cost
How much do managed GitHub Actions runners cost?
Quick answer
runnerhut Linux x64 runners start at $0.004 per minute, roughly half GitHub's list price for the equivalent size.
The detail that matters
Compare on the whole pipeline rather than per minute: a runner at half the price that finishes in half the time changes the bill by four times, not two.
Your next build could be twice as fast, at half the price
