In 2026, GitHub Actions pricing saw a change around the new year. The cost of GitHub-hosted runners decreased up to 39% from their previous rates. For private repositories, the rates remained the same for Linux and Windows runners, but the price for macOS 3-core M1 runners dropped from $0.062 per minute to the new rate. Self-hosted runners are currently free.

Starting March 1, 2026, GitHub announced a $0.002-a-minute cloud platform charge for self-hosted runners usage in private repositories. However, this fee was postponed and is yet to be implemented, and self-hosted runner fee is still not in effect.

For those looking for cheaper alternatives, third-party hosted runners provide a more cost-effective solution. Providers such as Sengi offer Basic and Premium plans with rates as low as $0.001 per minute for Linux x64 sizes. These alternatives maintain compatibility with the same workflow using a different runs-on label.
