Introducing unlimited private repositories

Re: Introducing unlimited private repositories
#62What about companies like Epic Games that have few repos but many users?
With their 2 private UnrealEngine and UnrealTournament repos they would have been paying $25 a month and under the new pricing structure will have to pay $815,913 per month...
edit: That's based on what I can see as a UE4 subscriber, 2 private repos and 90657 users.

#63A 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…
Even for software houses, it's VERY problematic as we add customers to projects as external collaborators and we're going to get billed for that forever, even if most customers have very light usage, and even for non active projects.
I was thrilled by this news but it's going to be completely unaffordable for us. We have 29 users and 51 external collaborators. We have recently upgraded to the Platinum plan ($2460/yr), but switching to the new user plan would raise the bill beyond affordable for us ($8k+ per year).
I think it is a big mistake to bill for external collaborators, it completely screws software houses that need this model to use GitHub.

We have a tons of repositories, most are currently on BItbucket, because GitHub was to expensive. Only our largest projects are on GitHub. Our team is maybe 8 developers, depending on consultants, interns and other temporary employments, but we have 20 - 30 repos.
I think for small companies that do all development in-house, having large number of repos, and few developer is a pretty normal.
The way I look at it, GitHub is moving to a model where they assume that the number of employees is more indicative to the amount you can afford to pay, compared to previously where having a large number of repos meant you could pay more.
It will certainly help attract smaller businesses to GitHub.

>I guess software houses that keep old projects (for maintenance and future requests from clients) fall into this category, but who else?
Companies using micro services? Companies that don't want to have one big repository for their software?

#66Do outside collaborators count as paid users?
Hi alanfranzoni, Outside collaborators on public repositories of an organization are free. Only the ones invited to collaborate on private repositories are counted as paid users. Hope this helps!
That means that the same user that is member of multiple organisations gets paid for multiple times? We're doing a lot of consulting and thus we do have a lot of people from other companies that get to have a read-only peek at some of our repos - the price would increase at least tenfold for us.

That is really unfair to software houses that need to add customers to projects. We have 29 users and 51 outside collaborators, and 60 repos. You can see that this plan change is going to be unaffordable for us.
Re: Introducing unlimited private repositories
#68I know a lot of companies that are too cheap to pay for hosting (or even host in-house), and therefore use bitbucket with its unlimited private repos. It's their gateway drug, and once they get used to that, good luck having them move over to github.

#69Do outside collaborators count as paid users?
Hi alanfranzoni, Outside collaborators on public repositories of an organization are free. Only the ones invited to collaborate on private repositories are counted as paid users. Hope this helps!
So to clarify: if I'm an organisation with 100 private repositories, and I add an outside collaborator with access to just one of them, I have to pay $9 a month for them?
I was quite excited about this change (we're an agency with a large number of repos and a relatively small number of users) until I read your comment.
Re: Introducing unlimited private repositories
#70This is way too expensive! Self-hosted GitLab is cheaper and has better uptime!
Not to mention, they should have made you pay only for users with commit rights!
