Is it free to have open source code on Bitbucket?

Hi,

Is it free to have open source code on Bitbucket?
I want more than 5 people to be able to access the code.

Regards,

Michael Danielsson

According to the pricing page:

"What is a user?

Someone with read or write access to one of your private repositories."

So it seems it will be free for your open source project with unlimited users. If not, ask for a community license!

As I understand the Atlassian tools including Bitbucket is free for open source project but you have to apply for it.

Are you sure we need to apply? To my understanding, as long as you keep your project public, everything is free.

BitBucket Pipelines should be free for Open Source libraries but it's not. Free Plan gives 30 minutes but it does not recognise Open Source NPM libraries and minutes quickly deplete.

Open Source Licence Request is tedious and unnecessary — NPM libraries can be automatically checked and validated!

Fingers crossed BitBucket enables this soon, because there will be more and more NPM libraries coming here from GitHub!

Is Bitbucket free for small teams?

Yes! Sign up for the 5 users free plan and you can have unlimited public and private repositories.

The answer seems to be no according to their pricing page.
