GitHub Team or Free? How to choose the right plan

Choosing the right GitHub plan involves understanding the features and limitations of each option, with the Free plan being well-suited for individuals, small teams, or open-source projects by offering unlimited public and private repositories, automatic security updates, and 2,000 CI/CD minutes per month. The Free plan's community support and unlimited collaborators make it appealing even for medium and larger teams. However, as teams grow or require more advanced features, the Team plan, priced at $4 per seat per month, provides additional capabilities such as Codespaces, advanced review features, and enhanced support. GitHub Actions and Packages are included in the Free plan, with public repositories enjoying unlimited Actions and 500MB of storage. The Enterprise plan is recommended for organizations needing advanced security and collaboration features, offering granular controls and a comprehensive developer platform.
