| Offers a free plan |
Yes Offers a very modest free cloud plan, limited to 5 users, 50 minutes of build time per month and 1GB storage. There's no free self-hosted version, but they do offer a $10 one-time payment plan for 10 users (build time and storage is only limited by your infrastructure) |
Yes Offers a minimal free plan (only one concurrent job, 3 users, various other limitations) |
| Predictable pricing |
Yes Pricing is based on amount of users for both the cloud and on premise versions. The cloud offering has different tiers depending on build times and storage. |
Yes Easy price calculator, based on the number of machines, concurrent jobs and special features. |
| Support / SLA |
Yes Dedicated tehnical support. |
Yes Paid support for enterprise plans |

Paralellism
Every CI servers tends to address this differently (parallel, distributed, build matrix). Some of it is just marketing, and some is just nuance. For this table, parallel means that tasks can be run concurrently on the same machine, distributed means that tasks can be scaled horizontally, on multiple machines How to split tests in parallel in the optimal way with Knapsack Pro |

| Additional notes |
There's some confusion regarding Bitbucket Pipelines and Bamboo, where they overlap and where not. Atlassian discontinued their Bamboo Cloud offering ~3 years ago, so at a high-level they are different products in that regard. What can be said about both is that they are top-tier tools for high-demand engineering teams, especially valuable as long as the other tools in the Atlassian suite are adopted (Bitbucket is a must for Bitbucket pipelines, being just one if it's features, but other tools like Jira are not to be dismissed either). It does seem like Bitbucket Pipelines is the more mature product of the two though. |
