Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Buildkite
- Free plan caps at 5 users and 10 concurrent jobs, with 2,000 Linux vCPU minutes per month and 30 day build retention
- Pro plan is $30 per active user per month, capped at 50 users, with only 10 of the up to 250 concurrent agents included before extra usage
- Enterprise plan enforces a 30 user minimum even though pricing itself is custom
- Hosted compute beyond included minutes is metered at $0.004 per vCPU minute on Linux and $0.02 per vCPU minute on Mac
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
