| Pricing model | Per seat | Tiered |
| Pricing page | Public prices | Public prices |
| Billing units | Users, plus build minutes beyond the plan | Instance size by user count; CI minutes come with it |
| Free plan | Up to 5 users, 50 build minutes/mo | None for private work; 30-day trial |

| CI minutes on the entry paid plan | 2,500/mo; then $10 per 1,000 | 2,000/mo on the 2-user instance; 1,000 per user |
| Security scanning add-ons | None listed; Code insights shows third-party results | None listed for Cloud; scanning in self-managed Enterprise |
| SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 | Both (Bitbucket Cloud in scope) | SOC 2 Type II; ISO 27001 on the roadmap |
| EU data residency | Bitbucket not listed for data residency | Frankfurt region, same price |
| SAML SSO | Atlassian Guard add-on ($3/user/mo at 10 users) | Not listed for Cloud (self-managed Enterprise) |
| Self-managed version | Data Center: not sold to new customers | Open source free; Enterprise $9.50/user/mo, 1-year term |
| Bottom line | From its public pages, Bitbucket has the lowest per-user price here and Jira integration on every plan. SSO and audit logs come through Atlassian Guard, and there is no data residency or new self-managed option. | From its public pages, Gitea Cloud offers a dedicated instance in your chosen region with generous CI minutes, at $79.17 a month for 10 developers. It scores lower on this rubric because the hosted plan lists no SSO or audit log, has no free plan and its pricing pages disagree on discounts. |
