Show HN: Jog – GitHub runners for 80% less

Jog launched a GitHub Actions runner service that it says costs 80% less than GitHub's hosted runners and 70% less than Blacksmith and WarpBuild, with 1,000 CI minutes priced at $1.20 versus $6 on GitHub. Jog runs jobs on self-operated hardware, giving each job a fresh VM, and requires only a change to the runs-on line in existing workflows; jobs run on Ubuntu 24.04 with GitHub's runner tools minus a few large ones. The service targets agent-scale development with Claude Code, Codex, Pi or OpenCode, offers 5,000 free minutes per month while a customer holds credits, and makes unused credits refundable at any time.
