CI that actually runs when you push.

GitHub Actions is slow. Jobs queue for 30-60 seconds. The dispatcher forgets. We wrote a better dispatcher. You run the worker on your machine.

LIMITATION: No service containers. No Docker-in-Docker. If your tests need Postgres or Redis running in a sidecar, use GitHub Actions. We are fast because we are simple.

The Problem

The Solution

you: download 12MB binary, run it
us:   route webhooks to your machine
cost: $29/month flat

Comparison

GitHub Actions

  • 30-60s queue
  • Dispatcher forgets
  • Cold VM every time
  • Code on their servers
  • Pay per minute
  • Service containers work

HorseCI

  • Immediate
  • Actually runs
  • Warm workspace
  • Code on your hardware
  • Flat monthly
  • No service containers

Trade-off: GitHub has more features. We are faster for simple workflows. If you need matrix builds, complex caching, or service containers, stay with GitHub.
