Runner performance: Hosted runners are slower than CircleCI's resource classes - Self-hosting complexity: GitHub Actions on self-hosted runners requires maintenance overhead - Caching: Cache invalidation and dependency management can be tricky - Free: 2,000 minutes/month (Linux), 500 minutes (macOS) - Pro: $4/month, 3,000 minutes - Enterprise: Custom pricing with self-hosted runners - UI complexity: GitLab's interface has a steep learning curve - Resource requirements: Self-hosted GitLab requires significant infrastructure (4GB RAM minimum) - Slower free tier: 400 min/month is significantly less than competitors - Free: 400 CI/CD minutes/month on GitLab.com - Premium: $29/user/month, 10,000 minutes - Self-hosted CE: Free forever - Vendor lock-in: CircleCI syntax doesn't translate to other platforms - Pricing complexity: Resource class pricing can surprise teams - No self-hosted free tier: Self-hosted (CircleCI Server) requires an enterprise contract - Free: 6,000 minutes/month, 1 concurrent job - Performance: $15/month base + compute credits - Scale: Custom pricing - GitLab: Built-in SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, secret detection - GitHub Actions: GHAS (GitHub Advanced Security) — paid add-on - CircleCI: Context permissions and audit logs, but no built-in SAST - Your code is already on GitHub - You rely heavily on community integrations - You want zero setup overhead - Open-source project (unlimited minutes on public repos) - You need self-hosted everything - Compliance requires full infrastructure control - You want a single platform for issue tracking, CI/CD, and deployment - Enterprise security scanning is a requirement - You have complex Docker-heavy pipelines - Build speed is your primary bottleneck - You need fine-grained compute resource control - You run large test suites that benefit from parallelism - Comparing Docker and Podman — container runtime for your CI jobs - Terraform vs Pulumi — infrastructure for your CD targets - GitHub Actions cost calculator — estimate your monthly bill
