Before you decide

• All three list dollars. We have not converted them: add GST and your card's conversion charge before you budget.
• GitLab's page also prints “Contact us for custom pricing” for its top tier. The three free tiers have different limits (for example Bitbucket's is for up to 5 users); read each page before you rely on one.
