CircleCI is a continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) platform for software teams that automate builds, tests and deployments. It connects to GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket and runs jobs on cloud compute that is billed in credits. A free plan needs no credit card.
Teams connect a repository on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket and define pipelines in a configuration file. CircleCI runs jobs on cloud executors, consuming credits by resource class and runtime. Free includes 30,000 credits and 5 active users per month, and Performance adds extra credits at $15 per 25,000, which roll over monthly for up to a year.
Software engineering and DevOps teams use CircleCI to automate testing and delivery. Open source projects, startups and larger teams choose between Free, Performance and Scale.
CircleCI Free is $0 per month with 30,000 credits, 5 active users and 30x concurrency, with credits expiring monthly. Performance starts at $15 per month with 30,000 credits, 5 active users and 80x concurrency, extra credits at $15 per 25,000 and extra users at $15 per month. Scale is custom and billed annually. Prices exclude taxes.
CircleCI integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, AWS, GCP and Kubernetes.
TeamCity is JetBrains' CI/CD server, available self-hosted or in the cloud. Buildkite runs pipelines on your own agents with a hosted control plane. Harness is a broader delivery platform with feature flags and cost management. Netlify is a hosting and deploy platform for web projects rather than a general CI/CD service.
