Per user pricing makes a lot more sense than per repo pricing. This way larger organizations pay more money than smaller ones regardless of how they structure their code.<p>This is a good deal for small organizations that like to have many small repositories (for internal libraries, utilities, micro services, modules, etc).<p>Sure, it screws up a few models that rely on external collaborators to get access to private repos, but those can stick with the old model for a while (at least 12 months). And in the meantime GitHub may adjust their model to accommodate those situations too.<p>Lastly, this is a huge freebie for individual accounts that now get unlimited repos for $7&#x2F;month. That will benefit a lot of people.<p>So I don&#x27;t see this as PR spinning, but rather as an overdue move on github&#x27;s part to a model that makes a lot more sense and benefits small organizations and individuals.
