What’s broken in enterprise CI/CD today.
Solutions
How Semaphore does it differently.
One-Size-Fits-None Pricing
Rigid pricing tiers that ignore your reality. Whether you have 100 developers across 5 teams or 50 developers running 10,000 builds daily, you’re forced into the same inflexible pricing box. No negotiation. No customization.
We solved it
“I believe we’re roughly 40% less cost at Semaphore than we were at CircleCI. So faster and less cost. It’s a double whammy.” – Jason Wang, Co-founder and CTO of Goco.io
Pricing That Adapts 💰
Flexible per-seat pricing that considers your unique situation.
- ✔️ FREE for companies under $5M ARR
- ✔️ 50% savings vs competitors
- ✔️ Flexible volume discounts for teams
📌 Your build patterns are unique. Your pricing should be too.
CI/CD as an Afterthought
Most platforms bolt on CI/CD to their version control. The result? Simplistic runners that choke on monorepos, can’t handle complex dependency graphs, and treat multi-stage deployments like alien technology.
We solved it
“It’s really quick and easy, so you haven’t got much to lose from trying it. And it’s really customizable. We have lots of different pipelines running. We can block things so that certain things can’t end up in production accidentally, which is a major stress relief.” – Zoe Walker, Tech Lead at Nourish Care
Built for Complexity 🏗️
Mature CI/CD platform designed for enterprise workflows from day one.
- ✔️ Native monorepo support & smart caching
- ✔️ Complex pipeline orchestration
- ✔️ Insights and deployment control
📌 Built for enterprises, not retrofitted for them.
Support That’s Just Deflection
Chat bots, community forums, and “premium” support that means faster ticket response times. When you need help with complex workflows or migration, you get documentation links, not solutions.
We solved it
“The customer support is fantastic. We have a dedicated Slack channel that allows us to communicate directly with Semaphore folks. If we hit a problem, then we’re able to reach out and get a response pretty much immediately.” – Jenah Blitz, Full Stack Engineer at Simply Business
