Hi! I work at GitHub.

All the details are listed on the official pricing page in the feature comparison section: https://github.com/pricing and in the docs: https://help.github.com/articles/github-s-billing-plans/#bil...

As far as I can tell, neither of those resources describe "advanced code review tools".

What does that mean? What are these code review tools?

The help document does talk about Protected Branches and Code Owners but those seem different than code review tools and "code review" is listed in the free plan.

Looks like a bunch of "insights" are disabled - https://i.judge.sh/Flutter/Doom/rNqHUIG3.png

EDIT: Removed my original reply. The PR was posted a day early by accident, so giving them room to deal with that.

Gotcha - the feature matrix clears it right up. Most of those features aren't very useful with the <4 collaborators on free private repositories anyway, so this makes perfect sense. Thanks :)

What's amusing is that this will likely hurt the tool makers since it will lock them out of free accounts, where as before they could sell to free accounts. Seems like a whoops for GH.

What I see is only:

> If you downgrade, you’ll lose access to advanced code review tools in your private repositories.

Not super clear from above posters.

This sort of explains things better now:

Essentially you lose:

Protected branches, CODEOWNERS, insights, wikis and pages.

And those only for private repos; they're still available for public repos.

I've been happily paying Github $7/mo for years now for Pro, but there's now literally no reason to keep doing so, so back to Free it is. Thank you Microsoft! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
