hi there,

how many contributors are in your team? and do they contribute to a private repo? And are you on the starter plan?

49
  1. Me and one bot that optimizes images
  2. No it’s all public, e.g. GitHub - TruncatedDinosour/website: Ari-web source code (previously ari['s] web[site])
  3. Yes

(Also I’m guessing it’s your birthday from the cake badge so happy birthday :))

Great, then you have no charges to worry about, the changes are really only for team sizes larger than 6 and contributors to private repos for Pro and above. Thanks for the well wishes!

Deleted all sites of Netlify and moving to render.com. Micro-repos are the norm, requering private repos to be on a personal account is a stupid move, I am not going to make a mess of my code and repos to suit Netlify.

Thank you for everything, whish you well in the future.

Hi there,

Here is a way I planned to use Netlify and Netlify CMS.
I would like to know if this usecase is affected by this pricing update.

  • A website is set up with Netlify CMS and Hugo
  • Subscriptions are open to anyone.
  • Users submit content through Netlify CMS
  • To protect users’ privacy, the Git repo is private. (Otherwise, user’s email is visible in the Git commit message)

Will each of these users count as Git contributor?

Hope this helps clarify it!

What a joke… do you hear this everyone? Netlify is now charging you for services provided by other people (github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.). Man i wish i could do that, just walk around charging people for things i didn’t do. That’s a nice deck you built neighbor… you owe me $500 for it… Netlify charging for services they aren’t even providing… what. a. joke.

I wanted to contribute to this thread from another perspective. As a Netlify fan for several years I have a ton of personal projects on the platform.

Recently I had to migrate a couple of my projects to Cloudflare pages because of the contributor pricing, I have a website that turns over basically tiny revenue that I work on with a friend; its not worth paying 40 GBP a month for that simply so two people can commit to a small project that we can’t host for free or under my pro account on Netlify any more.

Cloudflare pages is offering more for free than Netlify offers my pro account, I am considering moving everything away even though I love the platform.

As an aside, I am involved in technology choices in a big European tech company, and I previously planned to advocate for Netlify as more of the web goes Jamstack in the next few years. But I can already see now that I couldn’t sell it internally compared to the alternatives as a result of the pricing models at play,

So due to various pricing changes it neither suits my own hobby projects or my larger employer; who is it aimed at?
