# Pricing

> Usage-based pricing for compute, memory, and storage.

You pay for the CPUs and memory a job's machine has while the job runs, plus the
cache and template storage your organization keeps. There is no plan to buy.

| Resource | Price |
| - | - |
| Compute | \$0.001 per vCPU per minute |
| Memory | \$0.0005 per GB per minute |
| Cache storage | \$0.50 per GB per month |
| Template storage | \$0.50 per GB per month |

## Price per minute

The columns are the values of the `memory` option. See
[Machine sizes](https://docs.trunk.io/runners/actions/sizes.md).

| Size | `low` | `standard` | `high` |
| - | - | - | - |
| `xsmall` (1 CPU) | \$0.0015 (1 GiB) | \$0.002 (2 GiB) | \$0.003 (4 GiB) |
| `small` (2 CPUs) | \$0.003 (2 GiB) | \$0.004 (4 GiB) | \$0.006 (8 GiB) |
| `medium` (4 CPUs) | \$0.006 (4 GiB) | \$0.008 (8 GiB) | \$0.012 (16 GiB) |
| `large` (8 CPUs) | \$0.012 (8 GiB) | \$0.016 (16 GiB) | \$0.024 (32 GiB) |
| `xlarge` (16 CPUs) | \$0.024 (16 GiB) | \$0.032 (32 GiB) | \$0.048 (64 GiB) |

A job with no `size` runs on the
[default machine](https://docs.trunk.io/runners/actions/sizes.md#the-default-machine) (2 CPUs, 8 GiB):
$0.006 per minute, so a 10-minute job costs $0.06.

## Keeping costs down

* Use `memory=low` for jobs that need CPUs but little memory.
* Move setup steps into a [template](https://docs.trunk.io/runners/actions/templates.md).
  Setup minutes are billed like any other minutes.
* Cache storage stays bounded: unused entries expire after 7 days, and each
  repository keeps at most 20 GiB per tool. See
  [Caching](https://docs.trunk.io/runners/cache/index.md#cache-storage-policy).
* Use [Dynamic CI](https://docs.trunk.io/ci/dynamic-ci/index.md) to skip jobs a change cannot affect.
