Billing

Free trial: 200 free minutes over 14 days, up to 2 jobs at once, Linux only. Card required; no charge until the minutes run out.
You prepay credit from $20. Usage is drawn down per minute and you get a monthly statement. Measured per job, paid through Stripe.
Basic (default): $0.012 per runner-minute for the Linux 8 vCPU / 16 GB runner and $0.003 per minute for 2 vCPU.
Pro: $0.014 per minute for 8 vCPU and $0.0035 per minute for 2 vCPU, on warm machines: machines with your dependencies pre-installed, so jobs spend less time setting up. Pro costs a little more per minute; whether a run costs less overall depends on how much of it is setup.
Other machines: Linux 2 / 4 / 16 / 32 vCPU at $0.003 / $0.006 / $0.024 / $0.048 per minute (live); macOS on Apple M4 Pro at $0.028 per minute for a 7-core VM or $0.055 per minute for a full 14-core host (early access); dedicated M4 Pro hosts from $3,595 per host per month.
Prepaid credit: buy credit from $20 (card, via Stripe) before jobs run on compiler.dev; it never expires. Optional auto top-up. With the routed setup, if compiler.dev cannot take a job, or your credit or monthly cap runs out, the job runs on the runner it used before you switched, whether that is GitHub-hosted or your own. Jobs that use a size label such as compiler-8cpu wait instead.
Top-up packs: $20 = $20 credit; $100 = $110 credit; $500 = $600 credit. Any other amount from $20 gets no bonus. Bonus credit is added when your payment completes and is shown as its own “Bonus credit” line.
Refunds: unused credit you paid for is refundable on request at any time (bonus credit is not). Use “Request refund of unused credit” in Usage & billing; we review each request and refund the card you paid with.
Spending cap: set a monthly cap. When it is reached, routed jobs run on the runner they used before until the next month or until you raise the cap; jobs with a size label wait.
Owners and billing admins manage payment methods and invoices from Usage & billing.
