GitHub is now free for teams

>>ig0r0+(OP)
I think GitHub are doing well, but one cannot deny that GitLab has carved out a fantastic niche (on-prem, private instances, OSS, etc) that GitHub doesn't compete in. So while I agree GitHub are "the" company to beat, I think GitLab is doing a good job of contrasting.

PS - No affiliation with anyone.

Thanks for the kind words!

For developers everywhere competition is great. We recently made 18 new features free and open source https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/03/30/new-features-to-cor... and today Github with an improved free plan and their team plan came down to the exact same price as our most affordable plan. BTW Maybe an idea to rename their lowest tier from team, may we suggest bronze? :)

Since you mentioned contrasting here is a quick take on the features that you lose if you go from a GitHub Pro account to a Free account, I got the list from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22867974 :

    Protected branches in private repos => Free on GItLab
    Draft PRs in private repos => Free on GItLab
    GitHub Pages in private repos (using 1) => => Free on GItLab
    Wikis in private repos => Free on GItLab
    Code owners in private repos => Bronze on GItLab
    Multiple issue assignees in private repos => Bronze on GItLab
    Multiple PR assignees in private repos => Bronze on GItLab
    Code review automatic assignment in private repos => ?
    Scheduled reminders in private repos => TODOs are free on GitLab
    Standard support => Bronze on GitLab
