How to read this
Modeled cost uses published rates, included minutes, job increments and required fees under the scenario above. It is not a performance benchmark. Fixed bundles and unlimited plans are different purchases. Change assumptions on the CI runners table, filter with maxCost, or query MCP. Lean text mirror: /runners.md.
- 47 listings lack a complete modeled bill under these assumptions — open sources before buying.
- Per-minute rates and fixed bundles are different purchases; unlimited plans use your monthly-minute assumption for comparison only.
