| Offers a free plan |
Yes Free for open source projects |
Yes Offers a minimal free plan (only one concurrent job, 3 users, various other limitations) |
| Predictable pricing |
Yes Three different paid monthly tiers |
Yes Easy price calculator, based on the number of machines, concurrent jobs and special features. |
| Support / SLA |
N/A Not specifically mentioned, probably not. |
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 |
Yes Automated parallalelization for code analysis, as well as support for running tasks in parallel |
Yes
|

Distributed builds
distributed means that tasks can be scaled horizontally, on multiple machines How to split tests in parallel in the optimal way with Knapsack Pro |

| Containers support / Build environment |
Yes Tests run in isolated containers. Docker support available. |
Yes Built for Kubernetes, so containers are a must. |
|
Analytics / Status overview
Analytics and overview referrs to the ability to, at a glance, see what's breaking (be it a certain task, or the build for a specific project) |
Yes Besides classic CI overview, they also provide static code analysis insights, which is a differentiator for Scrutinizer |
Yes They seem to provide pretty great status overview, depending on the type of plan you're using. |
|
Management support
How easy is it to manage users / projects / assign roles and permissions and so on |
Yes Additional seats available for every plan at $14.90 per seat, per month. |
Yes

Build pipelines
A continuous delivery pipeline is a description of the process that the software goes through from a new code commit, through testing and other statical analysis steps all the way to the end-users of the product. |
Yes Pipelines as code (YML files) |
Yes Pipelines as code (YML files) |
|
Reports
Reports are about the abilty to see specific reports (like code coverage or custom ones), but not necesarily tied in into a larger dashboard. |
Yes
|
Yes
|
|
Ecosystem
Besides the official documentation and software, is there a large community using this product? Are there any community-driven tools / plugins that you can use? |
No
|
Yes Every step in a CodeFresh pipeline is a Docker image. A wide array of steps is available over at https://steps.codefresh.io/ |
|
Specific language support: Ruby
Some CI servers have built-in support for parsing RSpec or Istanbul output for example and we mention those. Some others make it even easier by detecting Gemfiles or package.json and automate parts of the process for the developer. |
Yes Code analysis (automated code reviews) are available for Ruby, as well as specific documentation for setting up a Ruby project: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/guides/ruby. Frameworks like Ruby on Rails are supported. They also provide tools like bundler-audit, for identifying vulnerable gems: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/tools/ruby/bundler-audit/ |
Yes Specific documentation for a sample Ruby-on-Rails project: https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/learn-by-example/ruby/ |
| Specific language support: JavaScript |
Yes Automated code reviews are available for Javascript as well as specific documentation for setting up a Node.js project: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/guides/javascript. Typescript is also supported. |
Yes There's an 'npm publish' step available, and they also provide a few Javascript examples over at https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/learn-by-example/nodejs/ (one is just a sample, one is a little more complex, using Redis, Python, etc., and one is a React App) |
|
Integrations
1st party support for common tools (like Slack notifications, various VCS platforms, etc) |
Yes Light integration with third party systems, mainly code management frameworks like GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab. |
Yes https://steps.codefresh.io |
|
API
Custom integreation is available, via an API or otherwise, it's mentioned separately as it allows further customization than any of the Ecosystem/Integration options |
Yes Comprehensive REST API available: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/api/ |
Yes Rich REST API available, well documented at https://g.codefresh.io/api/ |
| Auditing |
N/A Unclear from the documentation, but most likely available. |
Yes Audit logs available: https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/enterprise/audit-logs/ |
| Additional notes |
The code analysis features seem great, the offer for similar tools is quite light. Seems similar to lgtm.com |
