Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Bitbucket: Does Bitbucket offer a free tier?
Yes. The Free plan supports up to 5 users with 1 GB of file storage for LFS, 50 build minutes per month, and unlimited public and private repositories. The plan can be upgraded anytime.
SourceVite: Does Vite support CommonJS dependencies?

SourceVite: Can Vite work offline?

Free plan includes 50 build minutes per month. Standard plan ($3.65/user/month) includes 2,500 pooled build minutes. Premium plan ($7.25/user/month) includes 3,500 build minutes. Additional minutes can be purchased in $10 packs for 1,000 minutes.
