What's your take on GitHub's new pricing model, especially for organizations?

jankeesvw commented 8 years ago

Good question!

holman commented 8 years ago

I think it's great. I think they're going to make a ton of money off of it, so yeah, I'm all for it.

No wonder why Atlasssian came up with a price comparison and savings -- https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket/comparison/bitbucket-vs-github

holman commented 8 years ago

Wow, that is a brutal page. Good on Atlassian.

If you login to bitbucket account, you can see 'import from github'. :)

Two of my customers have already moved their way to bitbucket. There's no slabs in GitHub's new pricing model.

The business model of BitBucket is different than GitHubs is because they use it as a sales tool for all of their other saas products. That's why they can offer lower pricing.

I'm really happy with GitHubs new pricing, as a single user it enables me to use GitHub in a different way then I was able to use it before. 💖
