Azure Repos is a version control service provided by Microsoft Azure, which is part of Azure DevOps Services. Azure Repos offers two types of version control systems: Git and Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC). The pricing for Azure Repos depends on several factors, including the type of repository, the number of users, and the organization’s Azure DevOps subscription. Here’s an overview of the key pricing aspects for Azure Repos:

1. Azure DevOps Licensing Model:

   • Azure Repos is typically included as part of an Azure DevOps subscription. Azure DevOps offers various pricing tiers, including Azure DevOps Services (cloud-hosted) and Azure DevOps Server (on-premises).

2. Free Tier:

   • Azure Repos offers a free tier with limitations. In the free tier, you can have unlimited private Git repositories with up to 5 users (Basic users) for free. This is suitable for small teams and personal projects.

3. User Licensing:

   • Azure DevOps pricing is often based on the number of users (named users) who have access to the service. User types include Basic, Stakeholder, and Visual Studio Subscriber. The type of user determines their access and permissions.

4. Private Repositories:

   • Azure Repos allows you to create an unlimited number of private Git repositories for your projects. The pricing is primarily based on the number and type of users accessing these repositories.

5. Public Repositories:

   • If you choose to make your repositories public (visible to everyone), there is typically no additional cost associated with the repositories themselves.

6. TFVC Repositories:

   • If you use Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) repositories instead of Git repositories, the pricing may differ. TFVC is often used in scenarios where centralized version control is required.

7. Azure DevOps Server:

   • Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server or TFS) is an on-premises version of Azure DevOps. Pricing for Azure Repos in Azure DevOps Server may differ from the cloud-based Azure DevOps Services.

8. Additional Services:

   • Azure DevOps offers various additional services beyond version control, including CI/CD pipelines, work item tracking, test management, and more. The pricing may vary based on the services and features used.

9. Enterprise Agreements:

   • For large enterprises, Microsoft offers enterprise agreements and custom pricing options. Organizations with specific requirements can negotiate pricing based on their needs.

10. Azure DevOps Credits:

    • Some Azure DevOps subscriptions may include Azure DevOps credits, which can be used to offset costs associated with Azure Repos and other Azure DevOps services.
