With their focus on mobile they take out all the hassle from the setup process so that even users new to CI should find it easy to setup up their app with bitrise. Paired with the many predefined and community-provided steps there are very few use cases which can't be covered by bitrise workflows. And if you happen to hit a roadblock their team will aid via Slack or forum. I have used bitrise on all mobile projects across multiple companies for over three years and never looked back to high maintenance self-hosted solutions like Jenkins. I'll wholeheartedly recommend it to every mobile developer I meet. Pros \- extremely customizable - supports yaml for configuration - super friendly team overall, very developer friendly specifically - support via Slack and forum - generous free plan and fair and simple plans overall - support open source and contributors - huge steps library which you can use as building blocks for your build workflow - anyone can contribute workflow steps - good documentation - SSH onto build machines for debugging - initial setup just takes a few minutes and is highly automated - lots of free open source apps for monitoring bitrise on desktop and mobile - high availability - hosted in the cloud -> no maintenance - supports iOS and Android native as well as flutter and react native Cons \- storing the configuration in your repository is a hassle and comes with several drawbacks, unfortunate as this would be my preferred way to do config - workflow management can be cumbersome at times - workflows could be a tad more flexible - webapp sometimes could load faster - API could be more extensive (e.g. they don't have any user login endpoints as of now) - iOS builds could be faster Reason for choosing Bitrise \- out-of-the-box support for both iOS and Android - geared towards mobile - simple to setup, but still very flexible - supportive community and team Switched from [Jenkins](https://www.capterra.com/p/171026/Jenkins/) Mainly high maintenance efforts. Review Source KT Kyle T. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Changed our Clients' Businesses" August 23, 2019 5.0 Bitrise totally revolutionised my clients' workflows. We do testing releases daily because the overhead of uploads & App Store/Google Play submission is all but eliminated. Especially for multi-flavour or multi-target projects, it is absolutely indispensable. Pros Reliable, mobile-focused build automation: it is easy to set up, highly reliable, provides the technical depth needed for extremely customised builds & is intuitive. Cons In some cross-platform projects using Ionic or React Native, it's easy to get to the build time limit & the pricing tiers ratchet up quite a lot when you get to the levels necessary to support that. That being said, the system more than pays for itself every month. Alternatives considered [Travis CI](https://www.capterra.com/p/179183/Travis-CI/) Reason for choosing Bitrise I found other CI products to be insufficiently focused on mobile development, unreliable & cumbersome.

It's always feels Meta to talk about software helps you build other softwares but I am sure that your DevOps will be streamlined with Bitrise. Cons The lack of Deployment Management, API and Approval Workflow.

Pros Bitrise has completely solved our CI/CD needs for mobile app development, taking any complexity away and replacing it with easy to understand, repeatable pipelines that can be understood by any of the team. It was quick and easy to set up, get people on board and a tool we can now rely on. Cons Still a young platform, so things are sometimes a little shaky or slow. Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/)[Microsoft Azure](https://www.capterra.com/p/16365/Azure/) Reason for choosing Bitrise Bitrise's ease of use combined with complete flexibility , letting us simply customize our workflow to our exact needs. Review Source AH Adam H. iOS Developer (Mobile Team Leader) Program Development Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best CI tool I have ever used" May 8, 2019 5.0 We are automizing all of our mobile services with Bitrise and the process could not have gone smoother. Way easier and more fun than the competitors. Pros GUI workflows that have easy to add/setup steps, links with most major services and business chats easily, can set a custom stack for each workflow, the UI/UX is really intuitive and constantly improving. Cons The build machines are a little weak but at the price I cannot complain Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/)[Travis CI](https://www.capterra.com/p/179183/Travis-CI/) Reason for choosing Bitrise Because the overall user experience and ease of use was miles ahead at a much better price. Review Source ML Menno L. iOS developer Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ease of use++" May 5, 2019 5.0 I really enjoy working with Bitrise. It makes my day to day job more fun and a lot more streamlined. Pros Bitrise is very easy to setup especially when projects contain a Fastlane configuration. It has a nice style to it and great support for advanced questions turned out to be available at the click of a floating action button. Cons Pricing change for organisation's versus developers may be a bit steep for tiny startups. Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/)[Travis CI](https://www.capterra.com/p/179183/Travis-CI/) Reason for choosing Bitrise Ease of use + recommendation from a well respected developer.

Lead iOS Engineer Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quality of Life Improvement...at least at work" August 12, 2019 5.0 Spent a lot if hours (days, weeks, months, ...) with CI just to get it to run. Used Bamboo, Jenkins, CircleCI and right before switch to Bitrise Gitlab CI. Thanks to Fastlane it was getting way easier but not as easy to setup as with Bitrise. Requirement for us was to move it to the cloud and well, that is just about it. Moved now to Bitrise, worked within an hour and now everyones happy. We plan to take more advantage of some of the features offered soon, looking forward to it. For now though, got different workflows running for our branches and no real problems so far. All failed builds were my fault so far :) Pros \-Tailored to the need of mobile developers. Less hacks necessary. -Fast Support, helpful with Setup as well if needed -Price sounds high but well...not really. You get a lot for that :) -Fast reaction to new beta releases from Apple Cons \-Did not find it sooner Thats about it. Sure, got some wishes but i am optimistic that those would be handled fast once requested. Not missing anything for daily work. Review Source Chris H.

We had been looking for an alternative for building our iOS and Android app as we weren't happy with BuddyBuild and AppCentre, and with BuddyBuild dying quite soon, we found bitrise and are very happy with it so far! Pros Loved the incredibly easy workflow builder experience, which meant I was able to just choose what things I wanted to happen, and not have to fuss around with a bunch of yaml files and commit every change to see what's happening. Incredibly easy to debug your workflow as well, as you get very verbose information about what's actually going on! Also, very easy to setup a project, as they're smart enough to know what are good sensible defaults are for different types of native projects. This meant that once we imported our project from github, we were up and running in minutes, and just had to tweak some specific functions that we'd like to do! Cons Default experience was a bit slow, but after talking to their support, it does seem like there's ways to speed up our builds.

Senior iOS developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Worth every single penny, highly recommended" May 7, 2019 5.0 Pros Best customization and managed process. Automate project setup and great UX are big plus. Cons Honestly there is nothing to complain about. The whole thing is open source and really easy to extend or implement your own steps. Review Source Yevhenii K. Mobile Engineer E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Brilliant CI for affordable price" May 7, 2019 5.0 Pros Easy to start, but still very flexible for advanced use. Stable and reliable. Cons UI isn't always fast enough. Strange first screen when site is loaded - not logged in / then logged in after some background checks. Review Source BM Balázs M. Lead Mobile Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "How a CI tool should be" June 25, 2019 5.0 Pros Very easy to use Free trial Free for small projects Open source offer Cons Nothing yet Alternatives considered [Jenkins](https://www.capterra.com/p/171026/Jenkins/) Reason for choosing Bitrise We didn't want to bother with hosting our own Jenkins or paying for hosting Easier to use Tailored for mobile Review Source ND Nicolas D. Full Stack Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Bitrise works" May 3, 2019 5.0 Basically I build mobile and react-native apps. I love the "steps workflow" editor and the way we (me and my team) can edit and manage credentials. This is more than a CI. Pros Builds app it's super easy, you can manage to connect app center, app store connect, google play store, slack and even more. I found Bitrise super useful in my daily basis. Cons The only thing that bothers me about Bitrise is the free trial. Machine are super slow. A single build can take up to 20 minutes, but I use Org Standard and that works like a charm. Review Source Response from Bitrise May 6, 2019 "This is more than a CI" - Your quote just made the rounds around the office. Thanks! The machines on Org Standard are actually the exact same as the ones on the free trial, but we've upgraded that hardware quite recently. That might explain the difference in experience there. As far as the free hobby plan goes, we're actually looking to make some changes there soon. Happy to hear you're happy, though! AB Adrien B.

Especially the customer support is superb. Whenever I had any problems I received support within minutes or hours.

Pros \- ease of use combined with large range of capabilities - great customer support - extended trial period with continuous support - great docs and examples - open source nature Cons \- costs a bit too high for Poland based company - hard to share common steps between projects and apps Review Source CE Christian E.

August 31, 2024 5.0 Overall, experience is great considering this tool has been a game-changer for our pipeline automation. Pros Bitrise has greatly saved time and cost for my organization because automate the build and deploy pipeline. It's also a very easy to use and user-friendly that requires not much time learning how to use it. I also like that they eliminate user from setup and manage dedicated build machines to run the build pipelines. The user interface is very user-friendly, clean and intuitive making it simple to customize workflows design by just drag-and-drop functionality. Seamless integrations with third-party test services. Cons Nothing really the learning curve was smooth and I had to learn with the shortest time possible.
