My point is that larger companies are now be punished for a failed initial pricing model by GitHub. I prefer the new pricing model from a personal point of view, but for larger organisations it's now too expensive and I think many will relocate their repositories to BitBucket, or GitLab, or Gogs, or etcetera. Edit: My parent post is being down voted and that's fine, my point was not made in anger, it was an observation that smaller companies are having their monthly costs decreased, and the larger companies are seeing an increase, for organisations created after today that's a fair premise, but for those organisations that have been using GitHub for years and have now seen their monthly costs increase, it's a slap in the face. |

It's been 8 years since they revealed their pricing model, which has remained mostly unchanged on the lower end and only adjusted on the high end to account for GitHub Enterprise and suggest people move to that instead of the gargantuan $3k/mo plans. I don't know many SaaS companies that don't tweak their pricing much more infrequently than that. Thoughtbot's Giant Robots Smashing into Other Giant Robots podcast for the past few episodes has been consistently talking about A/B testing pricing models, prices changes and signup, conversion and churn, as a weekly adjustment on some of their services (FormKeep, Upcase, etc)
