Semaphore’s New Pricing Model: Built for the AI Era of CICD

Today we’re introducing an important change to how Semaphore pricing works.

CICD is no longer something that runs occasionally during development. For many teams, it’s now always-on infrastructure that powers software delivery.

To support this shift, we’re introducing a new Semaphore pricing model designed to keep CICD fast, scalable, and affordable as usage grows.

What’s changing

The new model separates compute infrastructure from support and success services, giving teams more transparency and flexibility in how they use Semaphore.

Key updates include:

Lower machine pricing

Semaphore’s fastest runners are now available at significantly reduced prices, starting at $0.0075 per minute.

Our new f1 machines replace the previous e1 and e2 runners, focusing the platform on high-performance compute optimized for CICD workloads.

Usage-based pricing for self-hosted agents

Self-hosted agents are no longer billed per developer seat.Instead, usage is priced purely based on compute time at $0.0025 per minute.

Support and success plans are now separate
