It takes significantly longer - we have advanced snapshotting logic to skip steps like "start the database" that you'd otherwise have to run every time you pushed. We also auto-hibernate the instances, so you don't have to pay for a bunch of separate databases running in parallel. Don't just listen to me though, try the free tier for yourself! A lot of our users combine LayerCI for developer tooling and vercel/netlify/GCP/AWS for deployment, they're quite complimentary.
