The short version

  • Only Azure DevOps has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Azure DevOps free tier is capped at 5 users and 1,800 monthly minutes on a single Microsoft-hosted pipeline job; extra parallel jobs cost $40/month each beyond that allocation, per azure.microsoft.com, August 2026; Factory the $100 per month Plus tier only grants about 5 times the usage of the $20 Pro tier, so usage scales sub-linearly with price, as of August 2026.
