TeamCity vs CircleCI FAQ
- Which one is cheaper?
- They both start at the same price — $15/mo. The difference is in what you get at each tier.
- Can I use either one for free?
- Both offer free plans, so you can try each without paying. Start with whichever fits your workflow better and upgrade when you hit the limits.
- How do they charge?
- Different approach here. TeamCity uses hybrid pricing, while CircleCI goes with usage-based. That changes the math depending on your team size and usage.
- Which one is a better deal?
- Depends on what you need. TeamCity: They're not the cheapest CI/CD option — GitHub Actions and GitLab CI are deeply embedded in dev workflows and often feel 'free' by comparison — but TeamCity targets teams that want serious on-prem control or JetBrains ecosystem alignment. The $2,399 flat server license is a mid-market play, not a startup-friendly entry point. CircleCI: CircleCI sits in the mid-market, competing on developer experience and ecosystem depth rather than being the cheapest option — GitHub Actions undercuts them on cost for teams already in that ecosystem, while Jenkins is free but painful. They're targeting engineering-forward teams who want a polished, dedicated CI/CD platform and are willing to pay for reliability over DIY.
