Our verdict on Buddy
Buddy is a web-based and self-hosted CI/CD platform for developers and engineering teams. It automates repository-triggered pipelines for building, testing, signing, and deploying applications. Its mobile workflows cover Android builds, APK signing, and Google Play publishing, along with iOS builds on dedicated macOS virtual machines, certificate and profile signing, and App Store Connect publishing. Teams that want mobile release steps alongside general application CI will find the product’s scope aligned with that workflow.
Pricing is structured across three monthly plans. Free includes one seat, one concurrent, 300 pipeline GB-minutes, 1 GB of pipeline cache, 300 sandbox CPU-minutes, and 730 sandbox GB-hours. Pro costs €29 per month and includes two seats, one concurrent, 3,000 pipeline GB-minutes, 10 GB of pipeline cache, 300 sandbox CPU-minutes, and 7,300 sandbox GB-hours. Hyper costs €99 per month and includes five seats, two concurrents, 6,000 pipeline GB-minutes, 20 GB of pipeline cache, 300 sandbox CPU-minutes, and 14,600 sandbox GB-hours. A 14-day free trial is also available. The Free workspace can be frozen after 60 days of inactivity and permanently terminated after a further 30 days.
Buddy’s ecosystem fit is a central strength. It connects with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Firebase, Docker Hub, Slack, Sentry, Datadog, Jira, Snyk, App Store Connect, and Google Play Store. Pipelines can be configured through the web interface, YAML, or a REST API, while deployment targets include app stores. Choose Buddy when one platform should cover general CI and mobile publishing across web, API, or self-hosted use. Teams that need more than one concurrent on Free or Pro, or want a product focused narrowly on mobile CI/CD, should consider a different fit.
