Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best free ci/cd service?
We publish no ranking of these. Nothing we record measures popularity or generosity, so naming a best or a top few would be our preference rather than our data. We hold 38 CI/CD services in our catalogue, listed in the table above with each one's tier, published terms and the read and catalogue dates we hold. 35 of them state a free tier we hold as current and 3 do not — the tier column says which. Our ranking rule is published at /criteria.
How many free ci/cd tools are there?
We track 38 ci/cd services on AgentDeals, 35 of which state a free tier we hold as current. These range from generous always-free tiers to limited trial periods. Of the 38 CI/CD entries we hold, 17 carry terms a read confirmed in the last 90 days.
How stable are ci/cd free tiers?
9 pricing changes have been recorded across ci/cd vendors. Check our Stability Dashboard for per-vendor details.
