Four plans: Developer at $5/month (1 repository, 2,000 free runner minutes, 1 seat), Launch at $19/month (up to 10 repositories, 4,000 free minutes, 1 seat included and extra seats at $5/month), Scale at $49/month (up to 40 repositories, 6,000 free minutes, 5 seats included), and Enterprise with custom pricing. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.
No. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial with full feature access, and none of them ask for a card up front. Each workspace gets one trial.
Runner minutes are billed by size: latchkey-small (2 vCPU / 8 GB) is $0.0025 per minute, latchkey-medium (4 vCPU / 16 GB) is $0.005, latchkey-large (8 vCPU / 32 GB) is $0.01, and latchkey-xlarge (16 vCPU / 64 GB) is $0.02. Custom runners bill at the xlarge rate. That is up to 70% cheaper per minute than GitHub-hosted runners. Every plan includes free runner minutes each month (2,000 on Developer, 4,000 on Launch, 6,000 on Scale), and usage beyond your included minutes is billed at the per-minute rate.
A monitored repository is any GitHub repository that you explicitly select in the Latchkey onboarding or dashboard to analyze. We do not charge for dormant, archived, or unselected repositories in your GitHub account. You have full control to toggle monitoring on or off for specific repos to stay within your plan's limit.
No. Analytics and monitoring are unlimited within your plan's repository limit; whether you run 10 builds a day or 10,000, monitoring costs the same. Runner minutes are the only metered usage: every plan includes free minutes each month, and usage beyond them bills at the runner's per-minute rate.
Each plan includes seats: Developer is single-seat with no team members, Launch includes 1 seat, and Scale includes 5. On Launch and Scale you can add seats for $5/month each, so your whole engineering team can access the dashboard and insights.
Free minutes reset at the start of every monthly billing period. Once they are used, additional runner minutes are metered at the per-minute rate of the runner size you use. If you are on a card-less trial, new runner jobs are blocked until you add a payment method.
If you have a payment method on file, your subscription converts automatically to the plan you picked, with billing handled securely through Stripe. If you started without a card, Latchkey prompts you to subscribe: pick any plan from the dashboard and continue where you left off. Your data is retained either way.
Disabling a repository archives its data rather than deleting it. Canceling your subscription retains your data, so you can pick up where you left off if you come back, and you can request full data deletion at any time.
