Namespace

What it is for

Namespace is a hosted CI-and-devbox desk: you open GitHub Actions Overview, and Developer is $0 pay-as-you-go (no card). Use it when the job is Actions minutes and remote boxes you start at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Namespace GitHub Actions list (namespacelabs/internal, 36,965 jobs, Code quality / Playwright tests / PR requirements / Build sparkline) from the docs still — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of GitHub Actions. Namespace bills minutes / builds / GB, not seats.

Key features

• GitHub Actions — a workflow list you watch after runs (GHA still; docs; pricing). One workflow. Cover check-grids, duration deltas, and 36,965 jobs are ops of this. Job view sits here.
• Docker builds — a remote builder with step logs (Builds UI). A build, not a workflow. Failure analysis and traces sit here. Developer rate prints $0.05 / build.
• Devboxes — a cloud desktop you SSH into (pricing Devboxes; video). A box, not a builder. Starting rate $0.004 / min. Storage $0.20 / GB-month.
• Registry — a container registry for the images you push (docs; pricing Container Registry). A registry, not a box. $0.2 / GB-month.
• Bazel — remote execution + cache hits for Bazel (pricing Bazel). An execution plane, not a registry. Cache hits $0.10 / 1,000. Remote execution is usage-based per minute.

Usage Explorer is ops of the meter. CLI / nsc is install. Buildkite Agents are a runner option of GitHub Actions / builds, not a sixth desk.

Who it's for

Best fit: CI teams who will stay on Developer at $0 (pay-as-you-go) while they open a first GitHub Actions Overview, then buy Team at $100 / month when they want the included build pack and more cache allowance.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from namespace.so/pricing. Tiles print Developer $0 / Team $100 per month / Business $250 per month / Enterprise Custom. “No credit card required” on Developer.

• Developer — $0. Pay as you go. Devbox from $0.004 / min. Builds $0.05 / build. Registry / Turbo / Gradle / GitHub Artifacts $0.2 / GB-month.
• Team — $100 / month. Extra builds $10 per 1,000. 1,000 included builds on the compare we fetched. More cache allowance (5,000 GB-hr / 3,000 GB-day free lines).
• Business — $250 / month. 2,500 included builds. Larger free cache lines (15,000 GB-hr / 9,000 GB-day).
• Enterprise — Custom. Volume discounting. Do not invent an Enterprise dollar.
• Meters that stay on every tile — Devbox $0.004 / min; Devbox storage $0.20 / GB-month; Bazel cache hits $0.10 / 1,000; CAS storage $0.20 / GB-month; Container Registry $0.2 / GB-month.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location.

Limitations / costs

• Developer $0 is pay-as-you-go, not unlimited minutes. A busy Actions week still invoices.
• Devbox storage is $0.20 / GB-month on top of the $0.004 / min compute.
• A CI/devbox desk, not a pipeline host you operate. For self-host YAML see Woodpecker. For Actions minutes as a runner-only bill see Blacksmith.

Alternatives

• Blacksmith — GitHub Actions runners when you want printed $0.004 / min Ubuntu and no Devbox desk.
• Depot — container builds + Actions minutes when you want Depot’s $20 / $200 tiles, not Namespace’s $0 / $100 / $250.
• Woodpecker — self-host CI when you want a $0 Apache pipeline log, not a hosted runner.
