## Points to note about rates for runners

* The number of jobs you can run concurrently across all repositories in your user or organization account depends on your {% data variables.product.github %} plan. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/actions/learn-github-actions/usage-limits-billing-and-administration) for {% data variables.product.github %}-hosted runners and [AUTOTITLE](/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/usage-limits-for-self-hosted-runners) for self-hosted runner usage limits.
* {% data reusables.actions.larger-runner-permissions %}
* {% data reusables.actions.about-larger-runners-billing %}
* For {% data variables.actions.hosted_runner %}s, there is no additional cost for configurations that assign public static IP addresses to a {% data variables.actions.hosted_runner %}. For more information on {% data variables.actions.hosted_runner %}s, see [AUTOTITLE](/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/using-larger-runners/about-larger-runners).
* Included minutes cannot be used for {% data variables.actions.hosted_runner %}s.
* The {% data variables.actions.hosted_runner %}s are not free for public repositories.
{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}
* Custom images can only be used with {% data variables.actions.hosted_runners %}. Jobs that use custom images are billed at the same per-minute rates as those runners, and storage for custom images is billed separately through {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} storage based on the amount of stored image data over time. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/concepts/product-billing/github-actions#custom-image-storage).
