We used to pay CircleCI $200/month to run CI on a widely-used open-source project, which was set up before GHA was available. Around one year ago we switched to GHA, which was significantly better, and cost $0.

At around the same time we made the switch, we got an opaque email from CircleCI about their new `performance plan` which would have increased the cost to $300/mo. This was more metered pricing.

Anyway GHA has been a breath of fresh air and I have convinced several open-source maintainers do dump CircleCI in favor of GHA.

When I read this, not judging or anything, no ulterior motive, I'm reminded Microsoft and embrace, extend, extinguish.

When and if they get rid of the competition, it likely won't be free aka 0 monetary costs again.
