Free Tier Value
This free tier is a real, perpetual Community plan with no credit card friction, but it is capped at private repositories while keeping unlimited users and public repositories. The cheapest paid plan is $5/month for 5 private repositories, so the free plan is worth about $1/month in practical value—roughly 20% of the entry paid tier because it is useful for public or open-source work but not for private repos.
