Offers a free plan |
Yes Free unlimited builds for open source projects, 150 builds per month for all others (hosted plan). For the on-premise solution they only offer a 30 day trial. |
Yes Free for open source projects |
Predictable pricing |
Yes Clear pricing based on number of concurrent jobs. They also allow a varied combination of platforms you want to run (Ubuntu, Windows, MacOS, CentOS) and provide a Bring Your Own Node option (so you can run builds on your own infrastructure) |
Yes Three different paid monthly tiers |
Support / SLA |
Yes One of the few competitors to offer support tiers with clearly defined SLAs: https://www.shippable.com/premium-support.html as well as Services and Training: https://www.shippable.com/devops-services.html |
N/A Not specifically mentioned, probably not. |
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 One thing that stands out, is the shipctl CLI tool, which can automatically determine which tests to run in parallel, based on previous performance, such that a minimal amount of time is ensured: http://docs.shippable.com/ci/running-parallel-tests/#running-tests-in-parallel |
Yes Automated parallalelization for code analysis, as well as support for running tasks in parallel |
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 |
N/A No specific mention. From the wording, multiple environments are certainly available, but it's unclear if the tasks can be distributed to multiple containers/VMs on the same machine, or multiple machines. |
N/A Unclear from the documentation (probably not) |
Containers support / Build environment |
Yes Native Docker support |
Yes Tests run in isolated containers. Docker support available. |
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 Detailed statistics available at multiple levels (job, account, project, etc.). They also include a view they call SPOG (Single Pane of Glass) which allows viewing a real-time representation of all of the pipelines in the organization, from where you can drill-in to the leaf nodes you're interested in. |
Yes Besides classic CI overview, they also provide static code analysis insights, which is a differentiator for Scrutinizer |
Management support
How easy is it to manage users / projects / assign roles and permissions and so on |
Yes
|
Yes Additional seats available for every plan at $14.90 per seat, per month. |

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 Configurable via an YML file (called Assembly Lines) |
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? |
Yes https://www.shippable.com/integrations.html |
No
|
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 Ruby is available by default on the Shippable container images. They also provide support for tools such as Cucumber or RSpec. Specific documentation for Ruby available on the website: http://docs.shippable.com/ci/ruby-continuous-integration/ |
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/ |
Specific language support: JavaScript |
Yes Specific documentation for Node.js available: http://docs.shippable.com/ci/ruby-continuous-integration/ |
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. |
Integrations
1st party support for common tools (like Slack notifications, various VCS platforms, etc) |
Yes http://docs.shippable.com/ci/ruby-continuous-integration/ |
Yes Light integration with third party systems, mainly code management frameworks like GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab. |
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 Provides a straight-forward REST API: http://docs.shippable.com/platform/api/api-overview/. They also provide ways to integrate notifications in your workflow, via webhooks or specific channels (IRC, Slack, Email, etc): http://docs.shippable.com/ci/send-notifications/ |
Yes Comprehensive REST API available: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/api/ |
Auditing |
Yes
|
N/A Unclear from the documentation, but most likely available. |
Additional notes |
|
The code analysis features seem great, the offer for similar tools is quite light. Seems similar to lgtm.com |
