About

Cirun is a managed self-hosted GitHub Actions runner service that runs jobs on the user's own cloud infrastructure. It supports AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle, OpenStack, and DigitalOcean, and integrates with GitHub through runner labels and workflow configuration.

The service includes on-demand runners that terminate after job completion, support for GPU-enabled runners, preemptible instances on GCP and AWS, and custom machine images. The pricing page lists an Open Source plan at $0 forever for unlimited public repositories, unlimited runners, ARM-based runners, GPU runners, and all supported cloud providers, plus paid Startup, Business, and Enterprise plans for private repositories.

This free tier is perpetual and has no usage cap for open source users, so it behaves like the full Open Source plan rather than a limited trial. Since the cheapest paid plan is Startup at $29/month and the free offering already includes the same core capabilities plus unlimited public repositories, unlimited runners, ARM and GPU support, and all cloud providers, its practical value is at least the top paid tier’s $79/month price. No credit card is required for the open-source offer, which keeps the friction low.
