Everything you need to control CI costs

GitHub Actions processes 70+ million jobs daily, yet most teams have no visibility into where their CI dollars go. CostOps changes that.

    We only access Actions metadata, not your source code

  • Enterprise SSO compatible

    Seamless SAML integration with your identity provider

  • Data encryption

    All data encrypted in transit and at rest
