GitHub makes money via subscriptions and fees from the sales of third-party apps. Here is a closer look at the two ways GitHub makes money:

Subscriptions
The company offers four different kinds of subscription plans for users. These plans can be bought for individual users or as packages for a specific software team. Here are GitHub's different subscription plans:
- Free
  The free plan is, as one would expect, free. It is normally used by small software development teams that do not have the need for a lot of storage space or extra features.
- Team
  The Team plan is offered at $4 per month.
- Enterprise
  The Enterprise plan is offered at $21 a month.
- GitHub One
  GitHub One is offered at a variety of different prices depending on certain factors, and a price quote is available upon request.
  The premium paid plans GitHub offers feature benefits such as increased storage capacity, higher workflow automation minutes, more robust security measures, and constant customer support.
Sales of third-party apps
GitHub also generates revenue from selling third-party-created applications. Users can access this feature through GitHub's Marketplace. These apps can be free, have a flat rate and price, or be paid in the form of per unit used.
