It saved a lot of time for us, and in the tech business, time saved is equally proportional to money saved.

Customer support for Bitrise is awesome; they are responding very quickly.

Engineering Manager at a comms service provider with 11-50 employees
Before we used to have small applications, around 50-60 MB, and now we have application sizes from 300 to 400 MB without facing any issues when generating larger builds for IPA files and APK files.

Room For Improvement

Bitrise users seek enhanced debugging, customizable dashboards, improved documentation, better cost visibility, and advanced support for mobile DevOps.
TeamCity's complex setup, poor UI navigation, and integration issues hinder efficiency, with needs for API, reporting, and alert improvements.
New users could see that they already have the pipeline created for platforms such as React Native, iOS, and Android without needing to create step-by-step setup.
Technical Lead at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds.
Cloud Platform at Futurescape
Sometimes I face issues when I trigger a build to generate, and I get a build failed without getting the proper log.
Technical Lead at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find Bitrise cost-effective and valuable for automation with smooth licensing and uninterrupted service, despite higher pricing.
TeamCity offers a developer-focused solution with scalable costs but requires an initial server setup expense despite a free version.
The setup cost was actually null, and it was really easy to set up and renovate the licensing.
DevOps Engineer at Deuna
They guarantee you that you never run out of processes, ensuring that you will always be able to generate your build, no matter if you expand or pass that limit.
Software Engineer at Ex. Hinge health
The pricing point was a pinch point for us, but the rest was good.

Valuable Features

Bitrise boosts mobile CI/CD with automated workflows, easy setup, integration flexibility, accelerating release cycles by up to 60%.
TeamCity excels in build step flexibility, plugin support, cross-platform capabilities, Git integration, and intuitive usability for efficient pipeline management.
As a team of 10 to 12 people, we are able to independently generate the build and save overall 20 to 40 hours per day.
Technical Lead at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
Bitrise handles the headache of iOS signing, code signing, and certificate provisioning profiles automatically.
SRE at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
The logs help us significantly; for example, if we generate a QA for Android and iOS, and if a specific step for Android fails, I can look at the log and see exactly what step we got an error, and with this log, we can find out what went wrong.

Featured Reviews

Mansoor-Mohammed - PeerSpot reviewer
SRE at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Weekly mobile releases have become reliable and pipeline incidents have dropped dramatically
The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point. Mac build machines are considerably more expensive than Linux equivalents. As our team has grown, the monthly bills have scaled accordingly with limited room to optimize without reducing concurrency. The self-hosted runner option was evaluated as a potential cost-saving measure, but the documentation and tooling for it are still less mature than the cloud product. Build debugging remains a log parsing exercise. There is no interactive debugging session or live SSH access into a failing build environment, which would be a meaningful productive improvement. The analytics dashboard is very minimal and basic and lacks the depth that anyone would want for capacity planning and trend analysis.

Versatile agent support boosts builds but UI and setup costs need refinement
TeamCity's user interface could be improved; specifically, the tree structure on the homepage is not clear, making it difficult to search for projects. Moreover, there are some limitations related to the version we were using. For instance, there were issues with agent specifications for particular build jobs and a timeout issue where jobs running longer than three hours would fail automatically.
