--- title: "Pricing | StarSling" description: "StarSling runner pricing: per-minute CPU and GPU rates, what's included, and how the cost compares to GitHub Actions." url: https://starsling.dev/pricing canonicalUrl: https://starsling.dev/pricing --- # Pricing Faster GitHub Actions runners. Agents that keep making them faster. Per-minute CPU and GPU pricing, with unlimited concurrency. Optimization agents are included with paid usage. [Start your free trial](https://github.com/apps/starslingdev) [See CPU rates](https://starsling.dev/pricing#cpu-rates) - [See GPU rates](https://starsling.dev/pricing#gpu-rates) ## Up to 6x faster CI Measured in public customer examples, with faster hardware and workflow optimizations. [See customer results](https://starsling.dev/customers) ## You pay for run time Billing runs from job start to finish, rounded up to the nearest minute, and queue time is not billed. Concurrency is unlimited, and your first month includes 2,000 free minutes. ## Agents that keep tuning StarSling reads your real runs and opens pull requests that shard suites, fix cache configuration and cut critical path. The runners get faster after the swap, not just at it. Optimization PRs are available on paid plans and require activation for new accounts. [Plan details](https://docs.starsling.dev/pricing#ai-powered-optimizations). ## CPU Runners Ubuntu 24.04 on 5th Gen AMD EPYC, from 2 to 64 vCPU.

Full configurations in the [compute reference](https://docs.starsling.dev/runners/compute-sizing#gpu-specifications). ## Estimate your monthly cost Choose a runner and your monthly job minutes. Estimates use list prices before first-month free minutes and assume the same runtime on both providers. CPU: compares Linux x64 larger-runner list prices. GPU: compares GitHub's Linux 4-core GPU rate. GPU hardware differs; StarSling rates include the GPU and host. Default estimate: 10,000 monthly CPU job minutes on 4 vCPU / 16 GB: StarSling $80.00; GitHub Actions $120.00. Save $40.00 per month - 33% less at these default inputs. [Use the interactive calculator](https://starsling.dev/pricing#cost-calculator).

[See how ci-speedup works](https://starsling.dev/skills/ci-speedup). - [/ci-score](https://starsling.dev/skills/ci-score): ci-score reads a local checkout, grades it against the best-practice rubric we publish, and ranks a fix for every gap it finds. [See how ci-score works](https://starsling.dev/skills/ci-score). - [/ci-secure](https://starsling.dev/skills/ci-secure): ci-secure scans your workflows for the ten critical attack vectors, explains each as a plain-English attacker scenario, and fixes the ones you pick. [See how ci-secure works](https://starsling.dev/skills/ci-secure). - [/sling](https://starsling.dev/cli#agent-skill): sling is the agent-first CLI for StarSling Runners: why a job failed, where the time went and what CI costs, and the skill teaches your agent to use it.
