Monk CI pricing is based on build minutes and usage, not seats. Every plan includes unlimited users, so teams do not pay per developer. Paid plans include monthly build minutes, Docker cache, Actions cache, Monk CI AI credits, Monk CI Shield, and support options. Extra usage is billed through add-ons.
The Monk CI free plan gives you 5,000 build minutes for 14 days, 10 Monk CI AI credits, Monk CI Shield, 20 GB Docker cache, 20 GB Actions cache, and unlimited users. You can test real GitHub Actions workflows on Monk CI before paying anything. No credit card is required.
Monk CI is designed to deliver up to 10x faster CI runners at up to 75% lower cost compared with standard GitHub Actions runner usage. Because Monk CI runs GitHub Actions workflows faster, teams can reduce total build minutes, developer wait time, and CI/CD spend. This makes Monk CI one of the most cost-effective GitHub Actions runner platforms in the market.
Monk CI runner pricing is calculated by runner minutes and runner size. The listed add-on rate starts at $0.004 per minute for a 2-vCPU Linux runner. Larger runners cost more per minute because they use more compute. For example, a 4-vCPU runner costs $0.008 per minute, and a 32-vCPU runner costs $0.064 per minute.
View pricingDoes Monk CI charge per user or per seat?
No. Monk CI does not charge per user or per seat. Every Monk CI plan includes unlimited users. Your team is billed for build minutes, cache usage, AI credits, and selected plan features, not the number of developers using the platform.
Start free trialWhat happens when I use all included build minutes?
On Pro and Max plans, GitHub Actions workflows continue running after included build minutes are used. Additional usage is billed as an add-on. On the free trial, builds stop once the included minutes are used unless you upgrade to a paid plan. This keeps Monk CI pricing predictable while letting paid teams continue shipping.
The best Monk CI plan depends on your GitHub Actions usage, monthly build minutes, Docker cache needs, team size, and support requirements. Choose Free to test Monk CI on real GitHub Actions workflows. Choose Pro for teams shipping to main every day. Choose Max for heavy pipelines, monorepos, larger teams, and dedicated Slack support. Choose Custom for dedicated infrastructure, static outbound IPs, audit logging, network firewall rules, private linking, and white-glove onboarding.
