About CircleCI
CircleCI Overview
CircleCI is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that helps designers build, test, and deploy applications more efficiently and frequently. CircleCI processes more than 1 million builds a day and has unique access to data on how engineering teams work and how their code runs. Most companies will start with CircleCI’s free plan and as needs and usage increase, they will purchase an annual agreement of a more robust plan. CircleCI is a usage based platform and customers purchase credits which are a form of virtual currency used to pay for using CircleCI. It is considered a business critical tool with high retention. Pricing is dependent on volume of credits in their volume discount model.
