Appveyor vs Snap CI: What are the differences?

What is Appveyor? Continuous Integration and Deployment service for busy Windows developers. AppVeyor aims to give powerful Continuous Integration and Deployment tools to every .NET developer without the hassle of setting up and maintaining their own build server.

What is Snap CI? Build, test, and deploy software faster with Snap's continuous integration and deployment tool. Snap CI is a cloud-based continuous integration & continuous deployment tool with powerful deployment pipelines. Integrates seamlessly with GitHub and provides fast feedback so you can deploy with ease.

Appveyor and Snap CI can be categorized as "Continuous Integration" tools.

Some of the features offered by Appveyor are:

  • Scriptless, repetitive, one-click deployment of build artifacts to multiple environments

  • System Libraries - Your build runs on a RedHat 6-compatible system with commonly required libraries
  • Customization Options - In addition to all that we support out of the box, we offer you the chance to customize your build extensively.
