2. Pay for your pipelines, not our machines
Dagger bills only the resources that your pipeline uses. You do not pay for reserved capacity or idle time. Other providers bill the full machine for the full duration of each job, regardless of how much you actually use.
Exact CPU time used by your pipeline, measured from Linux cgroups cpu.stat.
Actual memory used by your pipeline, sampled every second from Linux cgroups memory.current.
Data that your pipelines pull in: git objects, container images, HTTP fetches, local file uploads, container ingress.
Data that your pipelines push out: container images, container egress.
3. Repeat work is 5× cheaper
You pay 5× less for operations that could be served from cache, whether or not they actually are. This rewards you for optimizing your pipelines, and rewards us for accelerating them. Other providers earn less as your pipeline gets faster.
An operation is repeat work if it has the same inputs as one that you ran in the last 30 days.

Your current CI bills each runner for the full duration of each run. Describe your CI to compare its bill with the Dagger bill from step 4.
The price is a typical hosted rate for this runner size. You can change it. In the examples, the CI setup is an estimate.
| Your CI bills | Dagger bills | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | ||
| Memory | ||
| Per month |
These runners are too small for the usage in step 4.
