\nWhy pay for Travis CI when GitHub is free\n<\/h2>
\nWe know you can get your build minutes for free elsewhere. The harsh reality is that free comes at a commoditized, developer-unfriendly cost.\n<\/div>
\nAs a developer, you invest in tools for good reasons:\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

You seek something built for you<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>

You don\u2019t want the cortisol spike of gluing together unsupported plugins from a marketplace or navigating a monstrous \u2018DevSecOps platform\u2019 designed for other folks at enterprise scale.<\/p>\n

You want a precision tool designed to help you get the job done. Learn something new. Elevate your skills. Nudge you toward the next step in your development journey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

You seek real community and support from developers<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>

Good luck getting help on your Actions build from a real GitHub engineer\u2014they\u2019ll tell you to read the docs or ask around on Reddit and Stack Overflow.<\/p>\n

Travis CI takes a different tack. We recognize the value of a tight-knit community of developers with deep CI\/CD experience. It is, simply put, an expense we\u2019re happy to bear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
