Free Tier Value
This free tier appears to be genuinely uncapped: the page says the service is free and offers unlimited repositories, with no paid plan or quota shown to anchor a monthly dollar value. Because there’s no usage cap and no credit-card requirement mentioned, the practical value is treated as unbounded rather than estimated at a monthly price.
