Pricing
Ubicloud provides IaaS cloud features on bare metal providers, such as Hetzner, Leaseweb, or AWS Bare Metal. You can set it up yourself on these providers or use our managed service.
The pricing information below is for our managed service. Billing is based on the resources provisioned, pro-rated for the time they are provisioned. We calculate resource consumption at per minute granularity and bill monthly.
At a high level, our prices are 3-10x lower than comparable offerings. For example, 2 vCPU instance prices for different services are:
- GitHub Actions: $0.0008/min on Ubicloud vs. $0.008/min on GitHub
- Compute (VMs): $26/month on Ubicloud vs. $90/month on AWS Germany
- Managed PostgreSQL: $65/month on Ubicloud vs. $200/month on AWS Germany
- Burstable VMs start at $6.65/month and Burstable Managed PostgreSQL starts at $12.40/month
GitHub Actions
Ubicloud runners come with dedicated CPU, memory, local block storage, and a public IPv4 address. Our GitHub Managed Runner Application allocates virtual machines (VMs) across Germany and Finland regions to provide high availability. Every account gets a $1/month credit that’s equivalent to 1,250 minutes of Ubicloud runner time.
The tag ubicloud-standard-2 defaults to Linux x64 2 vCPUs. Given Ubicloud’s price advantage, we recommend trying 4 vCPUs if your pipeline benefits from parallelism.
Linux x64
| YAML runner tag | vCPU | Memory | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| ubicloud-standard-2 | 2 | 8GB | $0.0008/min |
| ubicloud-standard-4 | 4 | 16GB | $0.0016/min |
| ubicloud-standard-8 | 8 | 32GB | $0.0032/min |
| ubicloud-standard-16 | 16 | 64GB | $0.0064/min |
| ubicloud-standard-30 | 30 | 120GB | $0.0120/min |
Linux arm64
| YAML runner tag | vCPU | Memory | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| ubicloud-standard-2-arm | 2 | 6GB | $0.0008/min |
| ubicloud-standard-4-arm | 4 | 12GB | $0.0016/min |
| ubicloud-standard-8-arm | 8 | 24GB | $0.0032/min |
| ubicloud-standard-16-arm | 16 | 48GB | $0.0064/min |

GPU runners (beta)
| YAML runner tag | vCPU | RAM | GPU | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ubicloud-gpu | 6 | 32GB | 1x RTX 4000 Ada 20GB Memory | $0.032/min |
Concurreny Limits
By default, all Ubicloud for GitHub Actions accounts can run a total of 128 concurrent vCPUs. This concurrency limit represents the maximum number of vCPUs that can be active in parallel across all runners and enables faster completion of queued workflow runs.
For example, with the default concurrency limit of 128 vCPUs, you can run 64 x ubicloud-standard-2 instances in parallel. Or, you can concurrently run 16 x ubicloud-standard-4 and 8 x ubicloud-standard-8 instances.
If your project requires additional concurrency beyond the default limits, you can add Concurrency Extensions to your account. Each extension increases your capacity by 64 vCPUs for an additional fee. To learn more or buy additional Concurrency Extensions, please contact us at support@ubicloud.com.
Compute
Ubicloud virtual machines (VMs) come in standard and burstable flavors. The following tables display our VM pricing in Hetzner’s Germany region.
- You can choose extra storage in the portal at additional cost.
- Ubicloud prices in our LeaseWeb US region is 25% higher than in Germany.
Standard VMs
Standard VMs come with dedicated CPU, memory, and local block storage. You can think of the standard family as our general purpose instances.
| Virtual Machine | vCPU | Memory | Storage | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| standard-2 | 2 | 8GB | 40GB | $0.00067/min ($26.60/mo) |
| standard-4 | 4 | 16GB | 80GB | $0.00133/min ($53.20/mo) |
| standard-8 | 8 | 32GB | 160GB | $0.00266/min ($106.40/mo) |
| standard-16 | 16 | 64GB | 320GB | $0.00533/min ($212.80/mo) |
| standard-30 | 30 | 120GB | 600GB | $0.01000/min ($399.00/mo) |
| standard-60 | 60 | 240GB | 1200GB | $0.02000/min ($798.00/mo) |
Burstable VMs
Burstable VMs come with shared CPUs. They provide provide a fraction of one vCPU and offer burst capacity at micro-intervals. Memory and block storage is currently dedicated to each VM. Burstable VMs are best suited for low-traffic websites, development and testing workloads, and AI agents.
| Virtual Machine | vCPU | Memory | Storage | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| burstable-1 | 0.5 | 2GB | 10GB | $0.00017/min ($6.65/mo) |
| burstable-2 | 1 | 4GB | 20GB | $0.00033/min ($13.40/mo) |
Networking
Ubicloud creates each VM in a private subnet. For free, each VM gets a private IPv4 and IPv6 address. The VM also gets a public IPv6 address for free. For a public IPv4 address, we charge $3.00/month pro-rated per minute. You can opt out of getting a public IPv4 when creating the VM.
Each VM has a monthly egress quota of 0.625TB per 2 vCPUs. If you exceed this limit, we will charge you $3 per TB of egress traffic. We don’t charge for ingress traffic or traffic between your resources within the same cloud region.
Managed PostgreSQL
Ubicloud Managed PostgreSQL comes in standard and burstable flavors. The following tables display our pricing in Germany.
- We calculate usage at per minute granularity and bill you at the end of the month for usage.
- We retain backups for 7 days for disaster recovery purposes. You can restore from backups at per-minute granularity.
- You can choose extra storage in the portal at additional cost.
- Ubicloud prices in our US region are 20% higher than in Germany.
