The short version

  • Only TeamCity has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Baseten gPU compute is billed per minute by hardware class, from $0.01052 per minute on a T4 up to $0.16633 per minute on a B200, so costs vary by which accelerator a workload lands on, as of August 2026.; TeamCity detailed pricing requires visiting a calculator and isn't transparent on the main pricing page.

Baseten

  • GPU compute is billed per minute by hardware class, from $0.01052 per minute on a T4 up to $0.16633 per minute on a B200, so costs vary by which accelerator a workload lands on, as of August 2026.

TeamCity

  • Detailed pricing requires visiting a calculator and isn't transparent on the main pricing page.
  • Self-hosted setup and agent management require more operational overhead than fully managed CI/CD services.
  • Additional build agents and users are priced incrementally, which can add up for larger teams.
  • The UI and configuration model have a steeper learning curve compared to YAML-first CI tools.
