Jog Max
Jog Max runs the same sizes at twice Jog's price, still 20% less than Namespace and 40% less than Blacksmith at every size. At 2, 4 and 8 vCPU it runs on AMD Zen 5. Pick it job by job with its runs-on label.
| Runner label | vCPUs | RAM | Price per minute | Namespace | Blacksmith |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| jog-max | 2 | 8 GB | $0.0024 | $0.003 | $0.004 |
| jog-max-4vcpu | 4 | 16 GB | $0.0048 | $0.006 | $0.008 |
| jog-max-8vcpu | 8 | 32 GB | $0.0088 | $0.012 | $0.016 |
| jog-max-16vcpu | 16 | 64 GB | $0.0176 | $0.024 | $0.032 |
| jog-max-32vcpu | 32 | 128 GB | $0.0352 | $0.048 | $0.064 |
- A Jog Max minute uses twice its size's free minutes.
- A coding agent never moves a job to Jog Max itself: it suggests the label and asks you.
Other providers
Each provider's price per minute, in US dollars, for a Linux x64 runner with the same vCPUs as the Jog size. The RAM column is Jog's.

Billing
- Billed by the second.
- No subscription and no minimum spend: credits pay for run time alone.
- 5,000 free minutes a month while you have credits, used first (2 vCPU; 4 vCPU 2×, 8 4×, 16 8×, 32 16×).
- Prepaid credits, $100 at a time.
- Automatic top-up: $100 when your balance drops below $10. Turn it off any time.
- A personal GitHub account's top-up is sized to its use instead: the first from its estimated monthly Jog spend, later ones from its last 30 days of use, rounded up to the next $10, from $20 to $100.
- Unused credits are refundable at any time; prepaid compute isn't.
Get started
Change runs-on: ubuntu-latest to runs-on: jog, or to a larger runner label or a Jog Max label above.
Before the first job, an owner chooses the repositories and loads credits, and an organization's Default runner group must not allow public repositories or be limited to selected repositories or workflows. New organizations may wait on Jog's waitlist first (personal accounts start right away); credits loaded while waiting are spent only once jobs run on Jog.
Personal GitHub accounts? Yes. Add your own GitHub account, and Jog runs its private repositories the same way it runs an organization’s.
