What is Bitbucket?
Bitbucket Cloud hosts Git repositories with pull-request collaboration and Pipelines build workflows. This profile focuses on the cloud service; a self-managed Bitbucket Data Center deployment has separate licensing and operating requirements.
Who is Bitbucket for?
Teams choosing a hosted Git review and build workflow, particularly where Atlassian project and development tools are already in use.
Define the repository, review and build workflow
Choose who maintains the repository, who reviews changes and which build must pass before release. Bitbucket’s Cloud pricing separates users from shared build and storage allowances.
Compare GitHub and GitLab around the same review and delivery requirements. A desktop client such as Sourcetree serves a different role from repository hosting.

Bitbucket pricing
Free Cloud plan up to five users
Compare Free, Standard and Premium against users, build usage, storage and required controls. Keep workspace allowances and any additional consumption separate from the seat price; assess Data Center separately if self-management is required.

Bitbucket Cloud Free supports up to five users, with unlimited public/private repositories, 50 monthly build minutes and 1 GB Git LFS storage under the reviewed offer.
Before you choose Bitbucket
Free Cloud access has a five-user limit.
Build minutes and Git LFS storage are shared at workspace level.
Cloud and self-managed deployments are different commercial and operating choices.
Check the handover with a disposable repository
Plan an authorised example with a branch, a small code change, a review and a deliberately failing build. Record the workspace, user permissions and expected build usage before executing it.
Keep local commits, remote publication and automated delivery as separate actions. Confirm the retained plan’s review controls and consumption allowances before moving a working repository.

Bitbucket FAQs
How many users can use Bitbucket Cloud Free?
Atlassian lists up to five users on the Cloud Free plan, with unlimited public and private repositories.
How many build minutes are included in Bitbucket Cloud Free?
The reviewed billing guidance lists 50 build minutes per month. The allowance is shared across the workspace, not granted independently to every user.
How much Git LFS storage does Bitbucket Cloud Free include?
Atlassian lists 1 GB of Git LFS storage shared by the workspace. This is a specific large-file allowance, not a claim that every storage type has the same limit.
Is Bitbucket Cloud the same as Bitbucket Data Center?
No. Cloud hosting and a self-managed Data Center deployment have different licensing, infrastructure and administration requirements.
Does each Bitbucket workspace user get a separate build allowance?
No. Atlassian’s pricing guidance says build minutes and file storage are shared with all users in the workspace.
