Comment summary: Buddy is highly praised for its ease of use, intuitive UI, and flexibility in setting up CI/CD pipelines. Users appreciate the ability to automate deployments efficiently with graphical interfaces as well as YAML configurations. The pricing is a common concern, although the service is deemed worth the cost given its powerful features and reliability. Some comments highlight the need for a more affordable tier for smaller projects or sole developers. Overall, users find Buddy effective for both small and large-scale projects.

It is an awesome solution for continuous deployments. Quite good and a intuitive! But it is somehow expensive for a single developer. They had a free solution for a self-hosted instance but no 175$. Too much. And you have to pay the server so it is about 200$/m. Does not worth it. Hope some day they will think in lonely developers.

As of February 2021, there's no better solution for CI/CD in terms of UX. Straightforward, easy to use, everything is clear. Got it working in an hour? Buddy guides you with everything even with ssh config of your server. The free tier is generous. However, gets quite expensive when you aim to get more which shouldn't be problem as the project would have to be big enough to have the budget. If you aim to use something on-premise, just use drone.io which is really easy to use as well, just a bit scary at first when you have to write config in yaml versus being able to click everything out.

An awesome no nonsense CI/CD tool, easy to use and yet very powerful. Free for small use and reasonable prices for pro's.

I like Buddy because it's really easy and intuitive to use. You can find every feature with no stress. It's my first professional experience that i'm having it with an CI/CD and i'im loving it. Also i'm planning to use on my future personal project since it's possible to start using FOR FREE without registring any credit card, and they seem very easy to set up new projects!

Buddy works!
