In their own words
AppVeyor
AppVeyor provides continuous integration tools for Windows developers, with hosted service, self-hosted jobs and an Enterprise installation option for customer premises. A build pipeline can retrieve code, restore caches, install dependencies, build and test software, package artifacts, deploy, then run finalizer scripts. Projects can be configured through an appveyor.yml file or the user interface. Build matrices can create jobs across operating systems, variables, platforms, configurations, test categories and build clouds. Listed source control providers include GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Kiln and Gitea. Deployment options include inline providers and environments triggered manually or through the API. The REST API covers teams, projects, builds, environments and deployments, with bearer-token authentication. Secure variables can be encrypted with account-specific keys and are not decoded during pull-request builds by default. Hosted builds use pristine virtual machines not shared with other builds, and VM state is not preserved. Every plan has a 60-minute maximum build-job execution time. Paid plans start at $29 a month.
