So, let me get this straight, the "platform fee" is baked into the runner cost, but, their cheapest runner is the _same price_ as the platform fee? So its the same price to have them run it vs have me run it?

It seems like a solid plan to me:

- charge the same you would pay for the GitHub runners

- you have to factor YOUR server cost also, so self hosted will cost more than the platform option

- you jump to the platform runners and save on servers, sysadmin, DevOps, etc.

And then they grab you by the balls and raise the prices.
