This looks great! Food for thought on pricing: Because you offer free for open source, there’s minimal need for a free trial for private repos. I would consider requiring a credit card and making it a 14 day trial. My experience selling SaaS in the past is this will net you fewer but much more serious evals, so whenever someone signs up you know they are legit and worth your time to contact and support. That leads to higher conversion, better retention, etc.

Best of luck!

generally I agree, but a no-card trial removes friction. I have a few open source projects, but they don’t use much code review or at all compared to the private repo at my company. Yeah I can add a card, but it’s easier to start without it, see if there’s a fit and then decide.
