Public packages are free, and so is all data transferred into GitHub Packages 29 . Private packages draw on a monthly allowance per plan; storage is shared with Actions artifacts and billed at $0.25 per GB-month beyond it.
| Plan | Storage | Data transfer out, per month |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 500 MB | 1 GB |
| Pro | 2 GB | 10 GB |
| Team | 2 GB | 10 GB |
| Enterprise Cloud | 50 GB | 100 GB |
Two exceptions matter for BookNest. Downloads by a workflow that authenticates with GITHUB_TOKEN do not count against the repository's transfer, so CI can install private packages freely. And the Container registry's storage and bandwidth are "currently free", with at least a month's notice promised before that changes, so ghcr.io/binarybehemoth/booknest costs nothing whatever its visibility.
