- First and foremost, the biggest advantage is that it's hosted. You can forget about having and maintaining your own build machines. Every build you kick off will start from the same clean VM, thus never giving you a false positive/negative.

- No need to worry about tooling maintenance anymore. Best example is when a new Xcode version is released, usually lots of things break. We test these out quickly and release the new version in a way that won't give you headache.

- You have the same kind of control over your build environment, but an easier time with project setup with our scanner and reusable steps. This means, you can do scripting, but you don't have to.

- Team and organization management features

- You don't lose the advantages of open source

- You get awesome tech support along with a very helpful community

- You get a much more intuitive and nicer UI/UX

We hear from a lot of our users coming from Jenkins how it took up more time for them to maintain the build machines than it actaully saved, while not always delivering proper build results, lacking the always clean kickoff state.
