# Costs and requirements

What Codemany costs, what it saves, and what you need to run it.

## Saving money

Your Mac is idle. Your CI costs $200+ a month. Run it on your Mac.

- **Codemany costs $20/month for 2 machines**, and $10/month for each extra one, after a 14-day free trial with no card. No per-minute billing.
- **Jobs run on your Mac** instead of on GitHub-hosted runners. GitHub sets its own terms for self-hosted runners; any GitHub charges for them still apply on GitHub's side.
- **The Savings page** estimates what the jobs on your Mac would have cost on GitHub-hosted runners, over the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, job by job. Each job's run time is rounded up to a whole minute, as GitHub bills, and priced at GitHub's published per-minute rates: as a macOS job when its names mention an Apple tool or platform (Xcode, Swift, iOS, simulator and so on), else as a cheaper Linux job. Public repos count as free on standard runners. Free minutes in your GitHub plan are not subtracted, so it is a ballpark, labelled as one.

## Requirements, pricing and support

- **Requires:** a Mac with Apple silicon on macOS 14 or later, and a GitHub account that can add self-hosted runners to the repository or organization (repo admin, or org owner).
- **Pricing:** $20/month includes 2 machines; each extra machine is $10/month. 14 days free, no card. One subscription per GitHub account or organization that owns the repos. Cancel anytime. See [Pricing](https://codemany.com/pricing) and [Licensing and seats](https://codemany.com/docs/account/billing).
- **Download:** [codemany.com/download](https://codemany.com/download), with a [sample workflow](https://codemany.com/codemany-test.yml).
- **Support:** a direct message to [@arpwal on X](https://x.com/arpwal), or **Report a Bug** in the app. Release notes: [changelog](https://codemany.com/changelog). Labels: [runner labels](https://codemany.com/docs/runner-labels).
