Preserve the following limitations and costs when presenting it: Free caps at 5 users, 10 concurrent jobs, and 2,000 Linux vCPU minutes per month; Pro is $30 per active user per month with 10 agents included and $3.50 per agent per month beyond that, up to 250 agents; Enterprise has a 30-user minimum, and hosted macOS, Windows, or larger machine sizes may cost extra beyond included minutes. The central architecture is hybrid with self-hosted agents, so buyers who want a fully managed CI should evaluate hosted agents explicitly. Do not describe the product as free or subscription-free, and do not claim region-specific data residency or independent review scores, as neither is documented.
