Choose how the processor is shared

Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

Availability

Budget friendly

Cheap for a build box that runs overnight and that nobody waits on.


$283.50USD

per month

Configure

General purpose

Recommended

Consistent processor time, which keeps build times roughly repeatable.


$294.50USD

per month

Configure
Hourly only

Burstable

Not for compilation

A poor fit. Throttles under sustained load, and compilation is sustained load throughout.


$0.5859USD

per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed

Book by the hour

Add cores for a heavy release week and take them off afterwards — the change is made by hand on the same server, usually within the hour.

Bring your own CI

Hosted CI is priced per minute and shared with everyone else on the plan. A build server is a fixed cost that does not care how often you push.

Self-hosted runners

Point GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or Buildkite at it. The machine is yours whether it is busy or idle.

No queue but yours

Nobody else is waiting in front of your job, and nothing throttles you for building too often.

Caches that persist

Dependency and layer caches stay on the disk between runs rather than being rebuilt from cold each time.

Where your server runs

All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to the people pushing code and to whatever the build pulls from — package registries and your git host are the two round trips a build makes most.
