In their own words
Bitbucket Pipelines
Bitbucket Pipelines is a CI/CD service built into Bitbucket Cloud for automating software builds, tests, and deployments without managing infrastructure. Builds can start when code is pushed, and teams can run builds concurrently while tracking progress and logs in Bitbucket. Teams can use hosted runners, their own runners behind a firewall, or both. Pipelines can work across languages, operating systems, and architectures, including Linux, Windows, macOS, x86, and ARM. YAML configures pipelines, while Pipes add third-party testing, security, monitoring, and other tools. More than 100 integrations are listed. Build and deployment status can be shared through Jira, Confluence, and the Atlassian Platform; DORA metrics are available through Jira and Compass. The Free plan is free forever for up to five users and includes 50 build minutes per month. Standard costs $3.65 per user per month and includes 2,500 minutes; Premium costs $7.25 per user per month and includes 3,500 minutes plus governance controls. Atlassian lists a 14-day Standard trial and a 30-day Premium trial.
TeamCity
TeamCity is a continuous integration and delivery server for automating software builds, tests and delivery. Build chains organize pipelines into reusable steps that can run in parallel and share results across configurations. Build caching, artifact dependencies and incremental builds reduce repeated work. TeamCity can test changes before commit and commit them automatically if they pass, while test-history analysis can flag inconsistent results. Pipeline settings can be kept in Kotlin DSL, XML or YAML, or generated from the interface. Supported version control systems include Git, Perforce, Mercurial, Subversion and CVS, with integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. Listed infrastructure integrations include AWS, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform, Azure Resource Manager and VMware vSphere. TeamCity is available on-premises or in the cloud. The Professional on-premises plan is free forever and includes three build agents, 100 build configurations and 10 pipelines. Cloud costs $15.00 per committer, per month, with a three-committer minimum; its trial is 14 days, while the on-premises Enterprise trial lasts 30 days.
