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.
- heartbreak 10y agoI'll assume that none of your 15 users are software developers and that none of your users live in a first world country. I'll assume you pay a user $15,000 USD per year in salary. $225,000 for all 15 total. Cost of Github: $1,380. New operating costs: $226,380. I see that they have gone up by %0.6. Crushing.
- pilif 10y agoSome of these users are used for various error-reporting tools to report issues as. I'm not paying these any salary, nor are they actual, you know, people. Some of these users also aren't developers but just need access to the bug tracker. Some of them are outside contractors for whom multiple companies are now paying the github tax. But sure. $1.3K isn't much, but it's 5x more than what we had to pay previously and it's being sold as an improvement. It also means that I have to be much more mindful what other bot-accounts I'm going to add to the organisation. Plus now that github has increased the prices by 5x, who's to say they don't do it again at a late time? I don't have a problem with moderate price increases. But 5x is too much.
- heartbreak 10y ago$1,380 is so small an amount that when I worked at BigCorp I could expense that and more each month without approval. No one cares about a thousand bucks.
