| Free tier | no free hosted runner: a free account runs pipelines only on a Hybrid Runner in a Kubernetes cluster the user provides; Cloud Builds (the SaaS runtime) are disabled for all accounts by default and enabled on an admin request answered within 24 hours; codefresh.io/pricing/ now serves Octopus Deploy pricing, which lists no Codefresh plan unit none; metered on none; the pricing page as archived on 2024-01-04 offered a free Community plan: up to 5 developers, 1000 cloud credits a month, unlimited hybrid builds and 1 week of data retention; at 5 credits a minute on the S machine that is 1000 / 5 = 200 minutes |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
SaaS memory limits are Small 1 GB, Medium 4 GB and Large 8 GB; pipeline concurrency is a per-pipeline setting from 0 to 14 or unlimited, and no plan concurrency limit was found; by default a build step that prints nothing to the log for 45 minutes is terminated; no build duration limit and no monthly cloud credit allowance for a Cloud Builds grant were found in the pages read |
| Binding | write-gated no hosted build runs until Codefresh grants Cloud Builds to the account; without the grant the only runtime is a Hybrid Runner on infrastructure the user supplies |
| Identity | any-phone sign-up through GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Azure, Google or LDAP, then a phone number with a country code verified by a sent code, then organization details and use cases |
| Egress | unverified: no egress terms for the SaaS runtime were found in the pages read |
| Per-object cap | unverified: no build duration limit for the SaaS runtime was found in the pages read |
| Retention | build and log data are kept for six months, for SaaS and on-premises installations |
| Interface | git, cli a Codefresh pipeline triggered from a Git provider integration; the codefresh CLI |
| Tooling | SaaS machine sizes from S (1 CPU, 1 GB) to XXL (16 CPU, 32 GB), billed in cloud credits, once Cloud Builds are granted. The free path is the Hybrid Runner, which the user installs and runs in a Kubernetes cluster on rented or free machines; it comes after any hosted runtime |
| Composes with | no hosted capacity without a Cloud Builds grant; the hosted control plane can drive a Hybrid Runner placed on a free compute offer |
| Reliability | Octopus Deploy acquired Codefresh in February 2024; Codefresh CI remains available for customers, and the Codefresh pricing URL redirects to Octopus Deploy pricing |
| Notes | No free hosted runner today: a new free account gets the hosted control plane and must bring a Kubernetes cluster for the Hybrid Runner, while Cloud Builds are granted on request with no published allowance or price. The 1000-credit Community plan of January 2024 is gone from the live pricing URL. |
| Evidence note | documented the Codefresh documentation, the Octopus Deploy Codefresh pages and the live and archived pricing pages were read and quoted on 2026-10-30; the sign-up app is a login wall and was not passed, so the outcome of a Cloud Builds request is unverified. |
