The short version

  • Only GitHub has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Freedcamp plans are differentiated mainly by file upload size, at 10 MB on free, 25 MB on Pro, 100 MB on Business and 250 MB on Enterprise; GitHub acquired by Microsoft in 2018, reducing pure independence despite operational autonomy
  • They diverge on capability: Freedcamp covers Tasks, GitHub covers Git repositories.
