While it's great news that the hosted version of Phabricator is free for small projects, I'd like to point out that the open source version has always been free and they're the same :)

Hoping they make that distinction as well.

There's an entire paragraph on that page about it

>This isn’t a scaled-back version of Phabricator. We only build one version, and that version is free, open, and built to scale. There are no special keys or licenses needed. No community or enterprise versions. Code quality and engineering efficiency is too important to us to split up features. When you’re ready to move off of the free tier and bring your whole company, you’re welcome to upgrade on Phacility, or take your data with you and host it locally. We’re glad to have you as a customer either way.

We've been using Phabricator for a few years and have been really happy with it. Initially we brought it on board to help with code reviews (which it is fantastic at), but have since also used it to help manage projects being collaboratively worked on with external customers. I usually jump at every chance to talk about it with others who are interested in learning more.

Definitely check it out if you're looking for hosted or self-hosted alternatives to GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket, especially if you use Mercurial (or SVN).

Phabricator really ticks all the boxes for me. Love it.

100% open source and has all the tools you need for managing software development built in.
