By GitHub, this is marketing that they won't like their #1 competitor?
edit: apparently they have as well
> In December 2025, we announced our intention to introduce pricing for self-hosted runners so we could provide stronger support and keep investing in new features and ongoing improvements.
I assume this is their pipelines thing. We only use the webhooks to trigger self-hosted CI.
They will have to explain how "We’ll continue to offer a free tier that is perfect for small to medium teams, up to 100 basic runners per workspace." aligns with their other statement https://www.atlassian.com/blog/bitbucket/announcing-v5-self-... "$15/month per concurrent build slot: Pricing per build slot provides significant value when compared to alternative commercial self-hosted CI tools. For most customers migrating from Bamboo, the costs of running a fleet of self-hosted runners will be significantly lower when ran on Pipelines.
Plan inclusions: Standard tier workspaces include one free self-hosted runner slot, and Premium tier workspaces include two free slots."
this means that you get 1 or 2 concurrent builds for free, rest you pay for. No matter how many "free" runners they let you configure.
