About
AppVeyor is a hosted CI/CD service for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It runs builds, tests, and deployments from GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket, GitLab, Azure Repos, Kiln, Gitea, or custom repositories, using versioned YAML configuration or the web UI.
The hosted plan includes an always-free option for open-source projects with unlimited public projects, 1 concurrent job, and 5 self-hosted jobs. Paid plans add private projects and higher concurrency, while all plans keep a 60-minute maximum build job execution time.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a real, perpetual plan with no credit card required, but it is capped to public projects and just one concurrent job. The closest paid option is the $29/month Basic plan, so the free tier is worth about $29/month in practical value—roughly the value of a starter paid seat with the private-project limit removed.

- Unlimited public projects on the free Open-source plan.
- 1 concurrent job on the free Open-source plan.
- 5 self-hosted jobs on the free Open-source plan.
