In their own words

Buildless

Buildless is a remote build cache service for teams that want build tools to reuse compiled output rather than repeat compilations. It supports Gradle, Maven, Turborepo, Bazel, CCache, and SCCache, with the maker describing its main integrations as drop-in and requiring no changes to code, the build process, or cloud setup. The docs also list REST/gRPC, Redis (RESP), and GitHub Actions. Its described infrastructure combines Cloudflare edge routing with a Redis-compatible backend through Dragonfly Cloud, plus tunable replication and durable in-memory storage. The Team plan adds premium caching with replication, edge serving, and persistence. Individual / OSS is free, with one project, one user, 3GB of cache, and 100GB transfer. Team is free during the public beta, with five projects, up to 50 users, 10GB cache, and 1TB transfer. Builds are not halted when storage or transfer is exceeded, but overages are charged. Business pricing is TBD and lists private cloud or on-prem options.

Cachely

Cachely is a managed remote build cache for Nx, Lerna, Turborepo, Gradle, and Bazel. It shares build artifacts between CI runners and developer machines so supported tasks can reuse outputs. Cachely works through the listed remote-cache protocols and supports GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins, Buildkite, Woodpecker, Drone, and self-hosted runners. Its dashboard reports cache hit rate, slow tasks, and estimated CI time and cost savings. Setup involves creating a workspace, generating a token, and configuring the build tool; the maker says this takes about five minutes. Tokens are hashed with SHA-256, scoped to one workspace, revocable, and fixed as read-only or read-write. Artifacts are immutable, content-addressed, served over HTTPS from Cloudflare R2, encrypted at rest, and removed after 20 days. Cachely has a free plan with 1 GiB storage and 500K monthly requests. Team costs $29.99 a month or $24.99 a month billed yearly. Enterprise pricing is custom.
