About

Bencher is a continuous benchmarking platform that runs benchmark jobs on bare metal hardware and tracks results over time. It supports running benchmarks locally or in CI with the same runner environment, then stores, graphs, and queries results through a CLI and web console.

The free offering includes public projects only, one concurrent bare metal job, a 5 minute job timeout, standard queue priority, and free on-demand runners. The pricing page also states that free users get community support and that free plan benchmark results are not billed, although daily rate limits still apply.

  • Public projects only
  • One concurrent bare metal job
  • 5 minute job timeout
  • Standard queue priority
  • Free on-demand runners
  • Community support
  • 65,535 metrics per day

This free tier has real ongoing value because it never expires and includes free On-Demand runners, but it is tightly capped to public projects with just one concurrent job, a 5 minute timeout, and standard queue priority. Compared with the cheapest paid plan at $0.01 per benchmark result, that makes it worth roughly $1/month for a small developer workflow, while the lack of private projects and paid support keeps it well below the Team plan.

  • Public projects only.
  • Community support via GitHub issues and Discord.
  • One concurrent Bare Metal job.
