| Blaze vs GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is the default CI/CD for GitHub repositories. But the default runners are slow and expensive at scale.

Blaze is a drop-in replacement that delivers 3x faster builds at a fixed monthly cost—no per-minute billing, no surprise charges.

We tested identical workflows on both platforms:

The difference comes from our custom bare-metal infrastructure built specifically for CI workloads—not repurposed cloud VMs.

GitHub Actions charges $0.062 per minute for macOS runners. Here's how costs compare for a typical iOS team:

With Blaze, you get unlimited minutes at a fixed price. No more worrying about CI costs.

Switching from GitHub Actions to Blaze takes one line change:

# Before
runs-on: macos-latest

# After
runs-on: blaze/macos-latest

That's it. Everything else stays the same—your workflow steps, caching, artifacts, and secrets all work exactly as before.
