└── README.md /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # free-for-dev 2 | Developers and Open Source authors now have a massive amount of services offering free tiers but it can be hard to find them all in order to make informed decisions. 3 | 4 | This then is a list of software, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS etc offerings that have free tiers for devs. 5 | 6 | You can help by sending Pull Requests to add more services. Once I have a good set of link in this README file I'll look into a better layout for the information and links, help with that appreciated too. 7 | 8 | If you're not inclined to make PRs you can tweet me at ```@ripienaar``` 9 | 10 | ## Source Code Repos 11 | 12 | * https://bitbucket.org/ - Unlimited public and private git repos for small teams 13 | * https://github.com – Free for an unlimited number of public repositories 14 | * https://about.gitlab.com/ - Unlimited public and private git repos with unlimited collaborators 15 | 16 | ## Tools for teams & Collaboration 17 | 18 | * https://www.flowdock.com/ - Chat and inbox, free for teams of 5 or less 19 | * https://slack.com - Free for unlimited users with some feature limitations 20 | * https://hipchat.com - Free for unlimited users with some feature limitations 21 | * https://gitter.im - "Chat, for GitHub".
