Need additional Team Services features? Choose free or paid extensions from the Visual Studio Marketplace, or build your own
Visual Studio subscribers
Add active Visual Studio subscribers for free to your Team Services account. We’ll automatically recognize them when they sign in. They won’t count against your 5 free users or as paid users.
Visual Studio subscribers can access Basic features. Some subscriptions like Visual Studio Enterprise also include features available through extensions, like Test Manager and Package Management.
If you need to access multiple Team Services accounts, for example when working on projects for different customers, then buying a Visual Studio subscription can be an attractive alternative to paying for those users separately in each Team Services account.
Team Foundation Server included
Each paid user in your Team Services account also gets a TFS client access license (CAL). This lets you buy monthly access to TFS for your team. Learn about TFS, or learn how to buy TFS access
Build & Release
Create, queue, and monitor cross-platform builds and releases with this task-based service. Use Hosted Pipelines to run builds and deploy releases with Microsoft-managed agents, or use Private Pipelines to run builds and deploy releases on machines that you manage, running agent software from Microsoft. Each pipeline lets you run 1 build or deploy 1 release at a time.
