Bitrise is pretty great. CI for iOS and Android apps have never been easier. I'm currently on the free plan, but will gladly pay for a pro plan when/if my apps become profitable.

Thanks! Best of luck with your app! ;)

Bitrise is a wonderful product. Last year a close friend and I formed an LLC and built an iOS app on contract. There was an insane number of things that we had to figure out from scratch, but our CI Just Worked and allowed us to easily send install links to our client.

Could you do a short comparison to what CircleCI is offering for iOS and what is Bitrise's advantage?

Sure!

- Biggest difference is the reusable steps (e.g. add HockeyApp step, paste API token, good to go for deploy)

- Generally being more open - steps/integrations, stacks, CLI, webhook service, workflow editor are all open sourced

- Repository scanner - based on your configs you'll get a workflow to build, test and deploy your app in minutes

- You can download the bitrise.yml to run your workflows locally with our CLI: http://devcenter.bitrise.io/bitrise-cli/

- Trigger map, to configure what to build when: http://devcenter.bitrise.io/webhooks/trigger-map/

- (GitHub,) Bitbucket and GitLab (full API) support, and additional webhook support for Slack (trigger a build from Slack), visualstudio.com, gogs, deveo git repos through the open source Webhook processor (https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise-webhooks)

- Codesigndoc - an open source tool which, by running a line of command in your terminal exports all your necessary code signing files to upload to Bitrise

- We don't charge you for builds running over time limit

- You're able to use both Linux and macOS stacks on the same plan (either on free or paid)
