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; Val Town the free tier limits scheduled crons to 15 minute intervals and functions to a 1 minute wall clock time per run; only the $21 per month Pro tier reduces the cron interval to 1 minute, as of August 2026.
