Best Continuous Integration Software in 2026
Codemagic leads this chart of 58 (8.2/10, free plan). TeamCity is next (8.2/10, free plan), and Azure Test Plans is the next highest-placed with a free plan (8.1/10). Continuous integration software runs automated build and test steps when code changes; compare pipeline controls and whether you can manage builds from Android. Check whether a tool has an Android app before relying on phone access. The platform facts here list web, Linux, self-hosted, API, macOS and Windows support, but do not establish Android apps.

Choosing well
What CI features should I compare?
Start with the build workflow you need: compare pull request checks, pipeline configuration, parallel jobs and artifact or dependency caching.
Included build minutes and self-hosted runner options can also affect how a project runs.
How do I compare free plans and prices?
Check whether a free plan covers your intended use, then compare the paid starting price and any free trial. A free plan and a trial are different offers.
For example, Codemagic lists a free plan and paid pricing from $0.04; AppVeyor lists a free plan, pricing from $29 per month and a 14-day trial.
Should I use hosted builds or self-hosted runners?
Choose based on whether you need a hosted option, self-hosted runners, or both. Compare how each tool handles the build environment you want to maintain.
Which platforms does the CI software support?
Check for the platform you use to configure and run builds. Platform options in this category include web, Linux, self-hosted, API, macOS and Windows.
If you need access from a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO device, verify Android app availability separately; the platform facts here do not list Android.
Do I need open-source CI software?
If you need to read or change the code, check the tool's licence. The listed comparison includes open source as a factor, but does not provide licence details for the named examples.
Questions people ask
Can I manage continuous integration from an Android phone?
Check whether the tool offers an Android app before relying on phone access. The platform facts here list web, Linux, self-hosted, API, macOS and Windows, not Android apps.
What CI features should I compare before choosing?
Compare pull request checks, pipeline configuration, parallel jobs, included build minutes, hosted options, self-hosted runners, and artifact or dependency caching.
Which continuous integration tools have a free plan?
The examples Codemagic, TeamCity, AppVeyor, Bitbucket Pipelines, Bitrise, Semaphore, Appcircle, GitFlic CI/CD, Travis CI and Woodpecker CI list a free plan.
How much does continuous integration software cost?
Listed pricing varies: Codemagic starts at $0.04, AppVeyor at $29 per month, Bitbucket Pipelines at $3.65 per user per month, and Travis CI at $15 per month.
Does CI software support self-hosted builds?
Self-hosted is one of the platform options in this category. Compare tools for self-hosted runners and whether they also provide a hosted option.
