How Unreal Cloud compares.

Every way to build an Unreal project has a catch, ours included. Here is how Unreal Cloud compares with the usual options, and when one of them is the better pick.

vs your own build machine

A spare PC with the engine and a build script is where most teams start. Unreal Cloud replaces it, so nobody has to look after it.

Compare

vs Jenkins

Free and endlessly flexible, if someone sets it up and keeps it running. Unreal Cloud does the Unreal part for you, with less control.

Compare

vs GitHub Actions

The obvious first try if your code is on GitHub, but Unreal needs your own machine as a self-hosted runner. Unreal Cloud gives you the same pull request checks without it.

Compare

vs TeamCity

Polished and Unreal-aware through JetBrains' plugin, on build machines you run. Unreal Cloud does the same job without the machines.

Compare

vs Horde

Epic's own build system, made for large studios with build engineers. Unreal Cloud is for small teams who want builds without running anything.
