Built different from shared runners
One VM per runner
Your jobs run on a dedicated server, isolated from other users. No noisy neighbors, no shared CPU contention, no leftover build artifacts from other teams.
Zero setup, fully automated
No SSH, no config files, no Ansible playbooks. We provision the server, install Docker and the GitLab runner, and register it with your project — automatically.
EU & US regions
Deploy runners in Europe (Falkenstein, Nuremberg, Helsinki) or the US (Ashburn, Hillsboro). Keep builds close to your team and your data where compliance requires.
Project & group runners
Attach a runner to a single project or cover your entire GitLab group with one. Add tags to route specific jobs to the right server size.
Predictable billing — no surprise invoices
Billed by the hour. Each server size has a monthly maximum — run 24/7 and you'll never exceed it. A Small runner costs at most $10.59/month. Most teams pay far less.
Pay only for what you use
Hourly billing per runner. Each size has a monthly maximum — you'll never pay more than that, even running 24/7.
Up to 3 runners per account
Choose server size and region for each runner
Billed hourly — monthly cap guarantees no surprises

You only pay for the time your runners exist. We bill hourly based on your server size. For example, if you run a Medium server (8GB RAM) for 100 hours in a month, you pay $4.90 (100 × $0.049). Delete your runner when you no longer need it to stop billing. Each server size has a monthly maximum, so running 24/7 caps at a predictable amount.
Your next pipeline runs on dedicated hardware.
