Note that it's not 5 free private repos, but 5 private users. You can have unlimited private repos. So, in a small team you'd probably never have to pay. I wonder what has led them to this decision business-wise. Was the competition from github so overwhelming that they decided to counter it with with relatively drastic measures (giving up lots of $$$)?


Note that BitBucket was recently acquired by Atlassian: http://www.atlassian.com/hosted/bitbucket/faq.jsp

I think this had an effect on the offers.


ah yeah, I may be wrong, but I swear it started as 5 repos, then they changed it to users.

Anyway, for some reason one of my free accounts has unlimited users right now. Not sure how that happened but I think it might be because I had more than 5 users on a repo before they made the upgrade? Pretty awesome regardless.


Well bitbucket won me over and made me start an account with them when it happened. And now that I'm with them, if I go over 5 users I'll gladly pay.

It certainly can't hurt to be the first site to do it. (first considering github, bitbucket, google code, codeplex, sourceforge(?))
