Bitbucket Pipelines
Atlassian Bitbucket's built-in CI; build minutes included per plan, extra minutes bought in 1,000-minute blocks.
Mainly relevant to teams already paying for Bitbucket, since Pipelines minutes come with the mandatory per-user plan rather than as a separate purchase. Standard at $3.65 per user includes 2,500 build minutes and Premium at $7.25 includes 3,500, with extra minutes at $10 per 1,000. The Free tier's 50 minutes is the smallest standing free allowance among vendors here that offer one and can't be topped up. A 2x step counts double, and from 26 October 2026 monthly allowances pool at the organisation level.
