My company, for one, was actually in the middle of shifting to BitBucket off of Github, because the costs were becoming unjustifiable.

We have a growing number of repos that are more-or-less "finished" projects, and few if any changes are made per year. Accounting was starting to groan... and BitBucket's model fit our small team almost perfectly, although Github's UI, flow, etc, was, in our opinion, still better. New talent almost always has an existing Github account we can integrate, instead of needing to make and manage a new BitBucket account.

Now, with this news, we'll just reverse course and stick it out with Github.

The new pricing model is about 9x more expensive than Bitbucket, for a given number of users. If your cost-concerned, I can't understand why you should reverse your decision.

We have a fairly small team of developers, and a fairly large number of private repositories. So, for us, it's a pretty significant savings.
