--- 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. [Get started for free](https://github.com/apps/starslingdev) [See CPU rates](https://starsling.dev/pricing#cpu-rates) - [See GPU rates](https://starsling.dev/pricing#gpu-rates) ## Savings **Over time.** After the optimization agents have worked on the suite. Cut runtime by up to 91%, cut per-minute cost by 33%, total savings of 94%. 9% minutes x 67% rate = 6% bill. A shorter run billed at a lower rate. The agents shard suites, fix caches and cut critical path. Measured results from [customers](https://starsling.dev/customers). **Day one.** From moving the same unchanged suite onto our runners. Cut runtime by up to 41%, cut per-minute cost by 33%, total savings of 61%. 59% minutes x 67% rate = 39% bill. A shorter run billed at a lower rate. 5th Gen AMD EPYC cores run the same jobs faster. - $0.008/min against GitHub's $0.012/min on 4 vCPU / 16 GB. ## CPU Runners Ubuntu 24.04 on 5th Gen AMD EPYC, from 2 to 64 vCPU.

Each rate includes the GPU and its host: 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM and 100 GB disk. All prices in USD. GitHub Actions offers one GPU runner, a 16 GB NVIDIA T4. Every comparison here is against that card. | GPU | Speed (FP32 TFLOPS) | vs GitHub (T4) | StarSling / min | You save | runs-on: label | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 (default) | 120 | 14.8x faster | $0.05922 | 92% | `starsling-ubuntu-24.04-gpu` | | NVIDIA RTX 5090 | 104.9 | 13.0x faster | $0.03022 | 96% | `starsling-ubuntu-24.04-gpu/gpus=rtx-5090:1` | | NVIDIA RTX 4090 | 83 | 10.2x faster | $0.02522 | 95% | `starsling-ubuntu-24.04-gpu/gpus=rtx-4090:1` | | NVIDIA H100 | Coming soon | - | - | - | - | Speed is NVIDIA's published FP32 TFLOPS, computed from its published CUDA core count and boost clock for the cards where NVIDIA states those instead. You save is for equal FP32 work: the same job takes 14.8x the minutes on GitHub's T4 as on the RTX PRO 6000, so the saving is measured against those minutes at GitHub's own rate rather than against its per-minute price. That runner is a 16 GB NVIDIA T4 at 8.1 TFLOPS and $0.052/min, on a 4 vCPU, 28 GB host. [View GitHub pricing](https://docs.github.com/en/billing/reference/actions-runner-pricing).

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 and bill each provider for the minutes the same job takes there: 1.7x on GitHub's CPU runners, and on GPU the minutes its T4 needs to do the same FP32 work. CPU: compares Linux x64 larger-runner list prices, billed for the 1.7x minutes the same job takes on them. GPU: compares GitHub's only GPU runner, a 16 GB NVIDIA T4, billed at its own $0.052/min for the minutes that card needs to do the same FP32 work. StarSling rates include the GPU and host. Default estimate: 10,000 monthly CPU job minutes on 4 vCPU / 16 GB: StarSling $80.00; GitHub $204.00. Save $124.00 per month - 61% less at these default inputs.

[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.
