The sheer irony of this statement is staggering. Github is a business and their goal is to make money. If you have 5x the number of people doing dev work on your code, then by definition you are a "larger" organization from their vantage point. Why wouldn't you pay more?

"Why wouldn't you pay more?" comments are rather annoying. Why would you pay more if you don't have to? Bitbucket caps their price at $200/month for unlimited users. That would pay for only ~25 users on github. Basically they are 9 times as expensive per user as bitbucket.
Have you considered that if you self-hosted on a repurposed desktop machine running off solar panels, with unpaid interns doing maintenance, you could cap it at $0, and save on the heating bill during winter?
So then what is your solution? Per-repo pricing still?
