GitHub is the most unusual section we carry: our 13 GitHub services sit on a single price list. Stars, forks and repository subscribers are not social engagement in the ordinary sense, and they do not behave like it either. Across the 3 GitHub services that publish a completion figure, the median is 4 hours 52 minutes.
Why the GitHub range is this wide
GitHub prices on our list run from $23.452 to $117.24 per 1000. A line near the top is not a worse deal than one near the bottom; it is a different thing being sold in the same unit. The floor and the ceiling almost never belong to the same product, which is why an average price for GitHub would tell you nothing useful.
The same is true of time. A quarter of the measured GitHub services finish inside 2 hours 46 minutes, and a quarter take longer than 21 hours 14 minutes. Those are not the same service behaving inconsistently; they are different services sharing a section.
What the GitHub section contains
No single GitHub product group is large enough to justify a page of its own, so the whole section lives on one list. This is what is actually in it:
| Service | Lines | From (per 1000) |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub Custom Comments | 3 | $70.35 |
| GitHub Add to Favotires | 1 | $46.90 |
| GitHub Emoji Comments | 1 | $23.45 |
| GitHub Fork | 1 | $64.66 |
| GitHub Notification | 1 | $46.90 |
| GitHub Profile Followers | 1 | $117.24 |
| GitHub Quote Reply | 1 | $70.35 |
| GitHub Stars | 1 | $61.82 |
| GitHub Stars and Add to List | 1 | $88.11 |
| GitHub Subscribers | 1 | $58.98 |
That is the ten largest groups; the GitHub section runs to 11 distinct service names in total, and all of them are listed on the GitHub panel page.
The GitHub delivery spread, in full
These are the five points of the distribution across every GitHub service that reports a completion time. We publish the slow end as well as the fast one, because a median on its own hides the tail.
| Point | Completion time |
|---|---|
| Fastest measured | 2 hours 46 minutes |
| Lower quartile (25%) | 2 hours 46 minutes |
| Median | 4 hours 52 minutes |
| Upper quartile (75%) | 21 hours 14 minutes |
| Slowest measured | 21 hours 14 minutes |
What we do not publish for GitHub
3 of our 13 GitHub services publish a measured completion time. The other 10 do not, and we leave that field blank rather than fill it with an estimate. A blank cell means the supplier sends us nothing, not that the service is slow.
No GitHub supplier on our list reports a drop rate, so that column is empty for the whole section. We would rather show an empty column than a number we cannot source.
Refill cover and order sizes on GitHub
None of the 13 GitHub services currently carries a refill guarantee. That is the supplier position for this section, and we do not advertise cover we cannot honour.
Order sizes on GitHub start at 5 units and the largest minimum in the section is 5 units. Small first orders are the sensible way to test a line before committing to it.
The full list, with every price and every published delivery figure, is on the GitHub SMM panel page. Prices and delivery figures on this page are refreshed from the supplier feed, so they move when the catalogue moves.
