Free Tier Value

Feature parity 100%

The page explicitly states Chisel is free and offers an unlimited number of fossil repositories, with no caps or paid plan pricing shown on the provided pages. Because this is an always-free offering with no concrete limits or credits/trial terms, the free tier value is treated as unbounded and set to null per instructions. The signup form requires email, username, and password, but the page does not explicitly say no credit card is required, so that signal is false.

What's included in the free tier

  • Public repository hosting for code sharing and browsing.
  • Account creation with email, username, and password.
  • Log in access for registered users.
