Ubicloud (GitHub Actions runners)
Open-source cloud running managed GitHub Actions runners on bare metal in Germany, at a fraction of GitHub's per-minute price.
Per minute, this is the lowest listed rate among managed runners in the category: $0.00125/min for a 2 vCPU standard runner, against $0.006 for GitHub's own. Runners sit on Hetzner bare metal in Germany and customer personal data is stored in the EEA, which suits EU teams. The $2.50 monthly credit covers 1,250 minutes at the premium rate, the default for new accounts, or 2,000 at standard. The platform is open source and self-hostable, though the marketing page quotes lower rates than the docs table.
