Hobby plan · Free

Introducing our new hobby plan.

Get full access to Bitrise's mobile DevOps platform: CI, distribution, release management, over-the-air updates, and insights, bundled for free.

Card verification required to activate · $0 charge, never billed

What’s Included

All five products come free with Hobby, so you can build, distribute, release, patch, and track without upgrading.

CI

For mobile and web teams, who need automated builds, same-day Xcode updates, and more intuitive YAML.

Pool: shared 500 min/mo

Build Distribution

Get finished builds to your testers without a store review cycle: invite links, install pages, and install tracking.

Tier: Basic

Release Management

Coordinate the last mile to the App Store and Google Play from the same place you build: versioning, notes, and rollout in one view.

Tier: Basic

CodePush

Ship JS and asset fixes straight to installed apps, no store review, no waiting on the next build to land a hotfix.

Cap: 100K MAU

Insights

See build trends, flaky steps, and pipeline health over time: the same telemetry your CI already produces, just visible.

Cap: 500 builds

Key benefits across Hobby

Need different permissions per person? Roles are available with any paid subscription.

Not the free tier you're used to

Not a feature preview.

The whole platform

Most free CI tiers stop at "build." Hobby follows your app from first commit to store release to a live update: the same platform you'd grow into on a paid tier, not a stripped-down trial of it.

Not a hard wall.

A bridge to Starter

Go past your 500-minute pool and you don't get cut off mid-build; you roll into PAYG at 1.5× the base machine rate, capped at $15/mo. No forced switch, no lost work; just a nudge toward Starter if you're consistently maxing out the bridge.

Not free because it's cheap.

Verified because it's real

A mobile build runs on a dedicated Linux or macOS machine, not a cached edge request; real compute costs real money. One $0 card check, never charged, is what lets us keep giving that much away.

Not shared cloud only.

A free on-prem runner, too

Most free tiers hand you multi-tenant cloud capacity and stop there. Hobby includes one dedicated on-prem runner, for teams whose builds can't leave their own network.

+ 1 on-prem runner

One step to activate: verify a card

Before your first six builds run out, verify a card: a $0 check, never charged. That's it; Hobby stays free either way.

  • Verification runs a $0 authorization, auto-voided within minutes
  • Declined? Retry instantly with a different card, no builds lost
  • No card on hand? Contact support for a manual review
