How Free Credits Works
Learn how free credits work in Tenki and how to use them to run GitHub Actions runners with better performance and cost improvements.
Tenki provides free credits to help users discover the platform and experience its value with no strings attached. Once users feel confident and fully onboard, the amount of free minutes increases and is then automatically renewed every month.

How Free Credit Usage Is Calculated
Each month, you receive 1,700 free minutes when using 2 vCPU runners. If you choose larger runners, your free minutes scale proportionally based on runner size. For example, a 4 vCPU runner includes 850 free minutes, while an 8 vCPU runner includes 425 free minutes.
