Verdict

Bitrise offers a free tier ("Hobby") while Codefresh does not currently have a free tier. The page we cite for Codefresh states no amount, tier or rate we can read when we last looked, on 2026-11-09. We are not comparing the two pricing histories.

A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. A badge carrying a date states the record it rests on; a badge with no date rests on no record in force.

Mobile CI/CD platform — free Hobby plan: 500 build minutes/month on Linux or macOS, 1 private app, unlimited public apps, unlimited team members, 1 free on-prem runner, 90-minute build timeout. Supports iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native
  • Bitrise's Hobby plan requires a verified credit card. Verification is a $0 authorization that is never charged, and a new account verifies the card before its first six builds run out. Without a card, Bitrise support can review an account by hand. (From bitrise.io/hobby-plan, read 2026-11-10.)
  • On the Hobby plan, builds past the 500 monthly minutes need Pay-As-You-Go switched on. Pay-As-You-Go charges each minute at 1.5 times the base rate, up to $15 a month. At the $15 cap, no new builds start until the next billing cycle. (From bitrise.io/pricing, read 2026-11-10.)
  • Creating more than one account requires Bitrise's permission. (From bitrise.io/legal/terms-of-service, read 2026-10-06.)
  • Apps may only be distributed through Bitrise for internal testing, such as quality assurance, never for general use. (From bitrise.io/legal/acceptable-use-policy, read 2026-10-06.)
  • Builds and logs are kept 200 days. Older builds are accessible via the API. Test results and non-installable artifacts: 90 days. Installable artifacts: 150 days. HTML reports: 7 days. Deleted artifacts cannot be recovered. (From docs.bitrise.io/en/bitrise-ci/run-and-analyze-builds/managing-build-files/artifact-retention-policy, read 2026-10-06.)
  • Anyone with the build URL can see a public project's build logs, and a public project cannot be made private again. (From docs.bitrise.io/en/bitrise-platform/projects/public-projects, read 2026-10-06.)
