Hi GitHub Support,
I noticed several confusing elements on your pricing page that make it difficult to understand the actual differences between Free and Pro plans:
Issues identified:
1. Misleading “Everything in Free, plus…” language
• This suggests Pro users get Free limits PLUS additional amounts
• Reality: Pro has higher total limits, not additive amounts
• Example: Actions minutes are 3000 total for Pro, not 2000 + 3000
2. Repeated identical text without showing actual differences
• GitHub Actions description is identical for both plans, not mentioning the difference (2000 vs 3000 minutes)
• GitHub Packages description is identical for both plans, not mentioning the difference (500MB vs 2GB storage)
3. Duplicate content
• Codespaces description appears twice in the Pro section with identical text
Actual limits (as I understand them):
• Free: 2000 Actions minutes, 500MB Package storage
• Pro: 3000 Actions minutes (total, not +3000), 2GB Package storage (total, not +2GB)
Consider clearly stating the specific limits for each plan rather than using ambiguous “plus” language. For example: “Pro includes 3000 Actions minutes per month (vs 2000 in Free)”.
This would help users make informed decisions without confusion about what they’re actually getting.
Thanks for looking into this!
Best regards
