For comparison, quoting from the AWS CodeCommit pricing page... AWS CodeCommit costs: $1 per active user per month For every active user, your account receives for that month: 10 GB-month of storage 2,000 Git requests And the 1 year free tier is: 5 active users 50 GB-month of storage 10,000 Git requests

It took a bit of searching to find out what a "Git Request" entailed: "A Git request includes any push or pull that transmits repository objects. The request does not count towards your Git request allowance if there is no object transfer due to local and remote branches being up-to-date." Anyone who's using CodeCommit - have you hit the limits? How much did you go over by?

I don't use CodeCommit, but I doubt that an average developer would be hitting the 2000-request boundary (that's 100 requests per day assuming a 5-day work week). Technical users like a CI might be more problematic.

A small comparison: Team | Cost Before | Cost Now 1 repo, 5 users | $25 | $25 1 repo, 10 users | $25 | $70 11 repos, 5 users | $50 | $25 11 repos, 10 users | $50 | $70 5 repos, 50 users | $25 | $430 50 repos, 5 users | $100 | $25 50 repos, 50 users | $100 | $430 I'm not sure how common are organizations with few users and large number of repose - I guess software houses that keep old projects (for maintenance and fut…

The numbers in the above chart are dollars, not number of repositories for those who are puzzled by it.

It appears that along with this announcement they are raising the prices of an account.

At work we have a bitbucket server with 6 users and 25 repositories. We recently switched to bitbucket server a few months ago. I'm sure we will get more repositories in the future. Some of the repositories are just a small collection of scripts while others are fairly big software projects.

Hey, thanks for pointing that out, I updated it to be more clear!

The linked page is telling us that eventually, only the new plans will be available. For my case (15 users in the organization, using the bronze plan with a lot of not-so-important repos on our own server), this will be a price increase from $300/y to $1380/y - nearly 5x more expensive.

I really hope the old plans stay around as long as possible.

Also, consider external collaborators that are part of multiple organizations: Github will now receive the $9/month per external collaborator and organization they are in. That's one hell of a deal for github.

Are you working on projects for clients or on your own product?

Also, maybe I'm mistaken and this change actually makes sense. Until now I had a one repo called `utils` and we kept random scripts there. Now there won't be any cost for adding new repository, so it might happen we'll start splitting that one.
