  Travis CI originally created two separated platforms to differentiate between private repos / paid ([travis-ci.com](https://travis-ci.com)) and public repos / free ([travis-ci.org](https://travis-ci.org)).
  
  However, as of May 2018, new users and projects (both private and public) should only use travis-ci.com (see [this blog post](https://blog.travis-ci.com/2018-05-02-open-source-projects-on-travis-ci-com-with-github-apps)). Note that **travis-ci.org will be closed down completely on December 31st, 2020** (see [this newsletter](https://mailchi.mp/3d439eeb1098/travis-ciorg-is-moving-to-travis-cicom)).
  
  Although still in beta—which is a bit weird since travis-ci.org will be shut down soon—Travis CI provides a well-documented [migration guide](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/migrate/open-source-repository-migration).

  ### Answer by username_1 on 2021-01-07. Score: 2
  
  There is one profound difference which is a bit hard to find:
  
  Unfortunately the free OSS public repos at `travis-ci.com` are restricted to 1000 free build minutes after which one will have to beg for extra build minutes for the 'trial plan'.
  [Travis CI announced this new pricing model at 2020-11-02](https://blog.travis-ci.com/2020-11-02-travis-ci-new-billing). Effectively this ends generous open source offering.
