These teams have switched from Travis CI to Semaphore. Discover their ROI:
“Semaphore is a great product, and its focus on performance brings more productivity to our workflow. It has a ton of options for you to build your pipeline. Study the documentation, which is very detailed and covers all the features.”

“Running the Ruby gem builds on Semaphore runs perfectly, no random failures, and it’s done a lot faster.”
Tom de Bruijn
Developer at AppSignal
“Our custom testing script was a pain to maintain and configure, so at some point, we looked into Semaphore and discovered that it can split our tests without us having to maintain anything. We decided to switch to Semaphore, and everyone in the team has been really happy since then.”
