The short version
- Only Azure DevOps has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Aha! sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user; Azure DevOps free tier is capped at 5 users and 1,800 monthly minutes on a single Microsoft-hosted pipeline job; extra parallel jobs cost $40/month each beyond that allocation, per azure.microsoft.com, August 2026
