Isn't that one of the points of marketing: Highlight issues as a positives to decrease their impact to sales?

ps. No pricing model will suit every org. The current model based on repo numbers has horrid steps which make no sense. eg. 125to300 private repos = $200to$450 cost. So if you need 126 repos you pay more than twice as much for that extra 1 repo. That makes little sense to me.

yes, but you are comparing apples to oranges. If you had to jump from 125 to 300 users in ONE step as per the current pricing model instead of paying only for the marginal next user.

Recognizing the repository steps are a pain for customers and not moving towards a pricing per _single_ repository, say between 1$ or 2$ per private repository - is just plain misleading. They could have still thrown in the personal plan with a large number of private repositories and fewer collaborators.

I'm not directly comparing, only highlighting the step issue.

To me, give a per user or private repo cost. Allow the customer to choose between user or repo model, each addition costs a single fixed unit. Simple!
