6 free alternatives to Cirun

Run My Job gives you a free ongoing quota for one GitLab or GitHub organization integration, 10 concurrent jobs, up to 12 vCPU and 32 GB memory per job, plus 400 vCPU-minutes and 800 GB-minutes each month. GitHub runners on the free plan work only with organization accounts. The free tier is built around isolated microVM jobs and usage-based limits, so it is useful when you want a fixed monthly allowance rather than Cirun's open-source-only access model. It also includes enough concurrency for a small team to keep several pipelines moving at once. Its paid upgrade starts at €50/month.

• Beats Cirun: Broader eligibility for private or commercial orgs
• Falls short: No free GPU runners or unlimited public repositories
• Who should switch: Switch here if you need a free GitHub Actions or GitLab CI runner for an organization, not just open source.

CircleCI's free tier includes up to 30,000 credits per month, up to 5 active users, access to Docker, Windows, Linux, Arm, and macOS environments, 30 concurrent job runs for Docker, Linux VM, Arm VM, and Windows VM, 1 concurrent macOS job run, 5 concurrent self-hosted runner tasks, 2 GB storage, Docker layer caching, private orbs, deploys, and community support. It is a broad hosted CI option with several execution environments and no credit card requirement. Compared with Cirun, it is much better if you need a built-in service for mixed OS pipelines rather than running jobs on your own cloud account. The free tier is still capped, though, and the first paid plan starts at $15/month with usage-based pricing.

• Beats Cirun: Built-in multi-OS environments and broader hosted CI features
• Falls short: No unlimited open-source runner access on your own cloud infrastructure
• Who should switch: Switch here if you want a general CI platform with Linux, Windows, macOS, and Arm options on a free plan.

Scrutinizer gives open-source projects a free option plus a 14-day free trial without credit card details. The trial itself is not a long-term free allowance, but it lets you test a service that combines continuous integration, analysis, code intelligence, builds, deploys, and review steps in one place. The broader product is centered on quality and analysis workflows rather than self-hosted runners, so the free access is useful for evaluating that style of pipeline. Its pricing is container-based in the paid tiers, with the Basic plan at €49 per month. If you only need a short evaluation window, it is easy to start without payment friction.

• Beats Cirun: Free access without card details for evaluation
• Falls short: Trial-based access instead of perpetual free usage
• Who should switch: Switch here if you only need to test a CI and analysis workflow before committing.

Buildkite's free Personal plan is free forever with no credit card and no expiry. It includes 3 concurrent jobs across hosted and self-hosted agents, 1 active user, 90-day build retention, 50k test executions per month, 1 Test Engine workflow, 1 GB package storage and bandwidth, 500 Linux hosted agent minutes per month, up to 6 vCPU concurrency for Linux hosted agents, Git mirror volumes, custom agent images, team permissions, and GitHub authentication. That makes it a solid free choice if you want a small but durable CI setup that can span hosted and self-hosted agents. It falls short of Cirun on open-source-unlimited scale and cloud-provider flexibility.

• Beats Cirun: Perpetual free plan with self-hosted and hosted agents
• Falls short: Much tighter concurrency, minutes, and storage caps
• Who should switch: Switch here if you want a free CI plan for a solo project or small workflow with both hosted and self-hosted agents.

Appcircle's free Starter plan includes 1 concurrent build, 30 minutes maximum build time per build, 20 builds per month, 1000 CodePush updates per month, 100 Testing Distribution downloads per month, 100 Enterprise App Store downloads per month, and 5 publishes to stores per month. It is a mobile CI/CD platform built for iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter apps, so the free tier is centered on app delivery rather than general-purpose runners. That makes it a fit when your pipeline is mobile-specific and the monthly build allowance is enough. The free tier is very limited, but it is perpetual.

• Beats Cirun: Mobile app release workflows and publishing features
• Falls short: Far less general runner flexibility and much lower build limits
• Who should switch: Switch here if your main need is mobile CI/CD, signing, and app store publishing.

Bitbucket's free cloud plan includes up to 5 users per workspace, 1 GB total workspace storage, 50 build minutes per month, 1 GB Git LFS storage, code insights from up to three integrations, up to 10 deployment environments, unlimited private repositories, unlimited pull request reviewers, Jira integration, CI/CD with Bitbucket Pipelines, merge checks, AI-assisted pull request features, dynamic pipelines, repository-level access tokens, and community-only support. It is a good all-in-one option when you want Git hosting and CI in the same place. Compared with Cirun, it is more of a repository platform with pipelines than a runner service on your own cloud infrastructure.

• Beats Cirun: Git hosting plus CI/CD in one free workspace
• Falls short: Only 50 build minutes per month and no self-managed runner model
• Who should switch: Switch here if you want free source hosting and pipelines together rather than a dedicated runner service.
