It’s free for open source maintainers.

  Open source maintainer here. No, it's not. 100% of what I do is open source. It's used by millions. It's free for maintainers of "major" open source projects. I'm not sure what a "major" open source project is, but it's clearly not what I do. The only way to know if your open source project qualifies is to try to sign up. If it does, you're given a free option.

    What repo do you maintain that is used by millions?

      I don't connect my real-life identity to my personal identity. I am the primary author (but not current maintainer) of an open-source project which is reported to be used by over 100 million people, according to (flaky) statistics kept by the current maintainers. That's around 1% of the people in the world. I don't trust the current maintainers to be honest with numbers (there are lots of ways to estimate numbers of users), but it's definitely in the millions, and it's a project you (and most random people you'll meet in tech, and many outside of tech) will have heard of. I am currently working on earlier-stage projects, which have smaller communities, but 100% of them are open-source.
