    Chose Bitrise
    Bitrise.io is highly optimized for building, testing, and deploying mobile apps. Everything is streamlined and relevant so you can get your first build in minutes. Unfortunately, this can also mean that some flexibility is lost that other CI / CD solutions offer. You can …

    Chose Bitrise
    Bitrise is more modern and easier to handle than CicleCI. XCode CLoud is a strong competitor, especially if you are only interested in iOS development, and the price is a major deciding factor.

    Bitrise
    Bitrise is only suitable for Mobile app development. Bitrise supports source code repositories such as GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, and also you can connect with your SSO (Single Sign-On) with your private repositories with GitHub Enterprise. It gives a subscription model where it is free for one-time users and increases it fare as the usage grows up. It supports only a set of platforms. It would be good if there were more platforms supported as the user base of a variety of platforms is wide.

    CircleCI is perfect for a CI/CD pipeline for an app using a standard build process. It'll take more work for a complex build process, but should still be up to the task unless you need a lot of integrations with other tools. If you have a big team and can spare someone to focus full time on just the CI/CD tools, maybe something like Jenkins is better, but if you're just looking to get your app built, tested, and delivered without a huge amount of effort, CircleCI is probably your preferred tool.

    • The "phases" their config file uses to separate out options seem very arbitrary and are not very helpful for organizing your config file
    • No way that I know of to configure which version of MongoDB you use. You have to write your own shell script to download and start MongoDB if you want a specific version.
    • Hard to access build artifacts in the UI

    It's pretty snappy, even with using workflows with multiple steps and different docker images. I've seen builds take a long time if it's really involved, but from what I can tell, it's still at least on par if not faster than other build tools.

    Unless you have a reasonably large account, you're going to be mainly stuck reading their documentation. Which has improved somewhat over the years but is still extremely limited compared to a platform like Digital Ocean who invested in the documentation and a community to ensure it's kept up to date. If you can't find your answer there, you can be stuck.

    Bitrise requires significantly lower effort needs to be put in order to start using it. It's easy to set up and maintain.

    Circle was the first CI with simple setup, great documentation, and tight integration with GitHub. Using Jenkins was too much maintenance and overhead, TeamCity was limited in how we could customize it and run concurrent builds, TravisCI was not available for private repos when we switched.

    CircleCI
    • It has eased the burden of standardizing our testing and deployment, making onboarding new developers much faster, and having to fix deployment mistakes much less often.
    • It allows us to focus our process around the GitHub workflow, ignoring the details of whatever environment the thing we're working on is actually hosted in. This saves us time.
