Bitbucket pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives
Bitbucket (bitbucket.org) is a code hosting & CI tool. Per-user monthly pricing (Free up to 5 users, Standard, Premium) with included Pipelines build minutes and $10 packs of 1,000 extra minutes.. Free plan: Free for up to 5 users: unlimited private repos, 50 build minutes/mo, 1 GB LFS..
What Bitbucket costs
- 10 developers: $80/mo (Premium $8/user x 10; enforced merge checks (required approvals) are Premium-only, Standard cannot enforce them.)
- 10k Linux min: $116.50/mo (Standard $3.65/user x 10 = $36.50 + 7,500 minutes over the 2,500 included = 8 packs x $10 = $80; total $116.50 (Premium: $80 + 7 x $10 = $150).)
- 1k macOS min: no public price (No Atlassian-hosted macOS runners; macOS builds need self-hosted runners.)
Plan compared: Premium. Every price is for a 10-developer team on the cheapest monthly plan that covers the job (for Git hosts, private repos where a merge needs an approving review), with CI usage priced separately at 10,000 Linux minutes and 1,000 macOS minutes a month, seats and overage included. Free plans count when they cover the whole scenario and allow private, commercial use.

Pricing page: atlassian.com/software/bitbucket/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Prices from the live Atlassian pricing page (cards show $3.65 and $8 per user). Its embedded tier data instead lists a $18.25 or $36.25 flat fee for 1-5 users, then $3.30 or $6.60 per extra user, which would make Premium for 10 users $69.25; PricingSaaS dates the Standard rise 2026-01 but links to 2025 diffs. Web search was unavailable, so the change dates and earlier Premium prices could not be confirmed.
