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

NestJS

  • Licensed under the MIT License per nestjs.com; the core framework has no paid tier, but the Enterprise support offering (architectural reviews, LTS, upgrade assistance) is sold by direct contact with no published rate
  • Built specifically on TypeScript and Node.js, per nestjs.com's own description, so it requires that runtime and cannot be adopted independently of the Node.js ecosystem
