Free trial

The trial needs no card and charges nothing.

What it gives

• 7 days or 3,000 job-minutes, whichever comes first.
• 1 job at a time, at 4 vCPU and 8 GB: use runs-on: skipbox.

Job-minutes count each job's running time on a Skipbox runner, by the second, from when it starts to when it ends. Time waiting in the queue doesn't count.

When it starts

At your account's first job on Skipbox: not when you sign in, and not when you install the app. So waiting for an owner to approve the install takes no days from it.

Who gets one

• One trial per account (an organization or a personal account), and one per person.
• Skipbox needs an email address to write to about the trial. If GitHub doesn't share one, your dashboard asks for it, and jobs wait until you add it.
• For an organization, the person who installed the app signs in once before the trial's jobs run.

While it runs

Your dashboard shows the days and job-minutes left. A second job waits while one runs; your account's page says which plans would run them at once.

A skipbox-8x16 or skipbox-16x32 job doesn't run in the trial: change it to skipbox.

When it ends

Skipbox stops taking your jobs until you choose a plan. Nothing is charged. Jobs still set to skipbox wait on GitHub, and GitHub cancels them after 24 hours. Choose a plan, or set them back to a GitHub-hosted label. See Plans.
