Tugboat users frequently use Tugboat alongside their production web hosts and git repository hosts, as well as other CI integrations, such as CircleCI. Tugboat is a great stand-alone CI provider for pre-production infrastructure, but it also works well with the rest of your CI/CD pipeline.
Tugboat was made by a web development agency to share working previews of website development projects with clients. Today, Tugboat is used by many web development agencies as staging, UAT, and testing environments, as well as enterprise organizations that want to outsource their staging and testing environment infrastructure.
Tugboat supports unlimited users; there is no per-user or per-seat pricing. Tugboat's unguessable deploy preview links are also designed to be shared with stakeholders and non-Tugboat users who need to be able to view the work, so your stakeholders or members of the organization outside of your engineering team don't require user accounts to view deploy previews.
