Before you choose
Compare plans, prices and trials
Start by checking for a no-cost plan, then examine the lowest paid tier and any stated trial period. For example, AppVeyor starts at $29 per month and lists 14 days, while Bitbucket Pipelines starts at $3.65 per user per month with 30 days.
Pricing may use different formats: Codemagic shows paid use beginning at $0.04, whereas Bamboo provides a price on request.
Match the deployment model
Use the deployment model that fits your setup. The listed products cover environments such as web, Linux, API, self-hosted, macOS and Windows.
Check whether the model you need is available before comparing pipeline capacity or automation controls.
Check build capacity and runners
When workload is important, look at the number of build minutes included and the parallel jobs allowed. Self-hosted runner support can also affect how builds run in your environment.
Review these fields together with the deployment model so the plan matches your build process.
Review pipeline and deployment controls
Pipeline as code keeps pipeline definitions in code, while deployment automation handles release steps. Compare how a platform lists these capabilities before choosing a plan.
A free plan or trial can help you review the available controls without committing to a paid tier.
