Bitbucket has better pricing for closed-source projects, Github has better pricing for open-source projects.

It really depends on the structure of your market and your competitors. There's not enough information in your post to say anything more helpful than that.

Thanks for your reply. You're right, of course. But rather than try to explain my market, target user, competitors, etc., I think I can translate discussions of Github vs. Bitbucket fairly well into my situation.

So, can you elaborate? Why is Bitbucket better for closed-source and Github better for open-source projects?

GitHub is free for public repos up to unlimited number of participants. This is great for open-source projects.

BitBucket is free for private repos up to 5 users. This is better for closed-source projects.
