Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Shubham. I love GitHub Actions, but estimating the end-of-month bill is a nightmare. The runner multipliers are a massive trap. Running a job on an Ubuntu runner is cheap, but the moment you switch to Windows (2x) or macOS (10x), the costs explode. If you have complex matrix builds, you basically have to guess your CI/CD costs until the invoice hits. I got tired of doing this math manually, so I built a free visual calculator to fix it. Here is what it does: 1. Instant Cost Parsing: Paste your workflow .yml or .yaml file. It instantly breaks down the per-minute pricing across different OS environments and self-hosted runners. 2. AI Optimization Engine: Knowing the price isn't enough. I integrated an AI analyzer that reads your specific YAML architecture and suggests actionable ways to cut execution time (like aggressive dependency caching, fixing missing step timeouts, etc.). In testing, this cuts costs by 40% to 60%. 🔒 A Note on Privacy (Crucial for Devs): I know we all hate pasting infrastructure code into random websites. That's why I built this entirely with Vanilla HTML/JS. There is zero backend database. The parsing happens entirely on the fly in your browser. Your secrets and architecture stay yours. The tool is 100% free with no signups. I would love for you to drop one of your heavy workflows into it and see how much the AI can shave off your bill. Let me know what edge cases I missed or what features you'd like to see next!

Instantly calculate & cut your GitHub CI/CD bill with AI.

Hey Product Hunt community! Shubham here.

The Pain Point: As a solo dev, there is nothing scarier than "Bill Shock." I realized developers were blindly running GitHub Actions without realizing that a macOS runner costs 10x more than an Ubuntu runner. By the time you check the billing dashboard, the damage is done.

So, I built GitHub Actions Cost Calculator a completely free, no-login web tool to fix this.

Estimating GitHub Actions bills before the invoice hits is a nightmare. A simple switch from an Ubuntu runner to macOS or Windows can 10x your CI/CD costs instantly. I got tired of doing this math manually, so I built a free visual calculator to fix it.
