So you're still paying a 2x premium to get organizations, but at least you can do it at a lower price point. Small plan: 10 private repos, 5 collaborators, $12

So you're still paying a 2x premium to get organizations, but at least you can do it at a lower price point.
Small plan: 10 private repos, 5 collaborators, $12
Bronze plan: 10 private repos, infinite collaborators, Organizations, $25.
Similarly, the Medium is $22, and the Silver is $50, both for 20 private repos.
- fizx 16y agoFeatures cost money, news at 11.
- patio11 16y agoFeatures which by definition segment your customers into "for profit businesses" and "everybody else" should probably cost more than anybody here can stand charging. People who complain are beautiful snowflakes who are out of scope for the product.
- eru 16y agoI agree. One question: Isn't the "organization"-feature also used for open-source stuff that's not for profit? Or doesn't this cost?
- kyleslattery 16y agoYeah--organizations with only public repositories are completely free.
- technoweenie 16y ago1) We love and will continue to support open source. 2) It's part of the network effect that gets more people using the service.
- masklinn 16y agoJust as with personal plans, organizations with no need for private repos have a free plan available.
- ROFISH 16y agoAt that point you might as well use the "personal" accounts. For me, since there's just two of us on something that doesn't require that much disk space, we've been using a micro account for a year now. (I guess Github doesn't have space requirements either now too.) The true benefit of this Organization feature appears to be for managing large teams, thus their "premium" for infinitely large collaborators. You don't really need those features for five people.

- jpcx01 16y agoInfinite collaborators is worth that small premium i think
- shabble 16y agoI looked into github for our company a while ago, but since we deal with quite a lot of consultancy work where we offer collaborator access to clients (for their own changes, issue tracking, etc), it was going to be prohibitively expensive to afford a plan which got everyone the necessary account. In contrast, having unlimited users, even with a fairly small set of repos, is a very valuable offering, and I might reconsider it in favour of our current redmine setup, which doesn't offer nearly as many useful features. At $25, which is only £16 or so, it's pretty much on-par with the VPS we're hosting our current repos on.
