Git hosting cost calculator.

Compare the seat bill with the operating bill. The useful number is not just the VM or plan price, it is the monthly cost of keeping the forge reliable.

Recommended plan

Fjord Team

Recommended for private team Git hosting: team ownership, private repositories, SSO, managed backups, and no per-seat billing.

Plan fit

Comparable baseline

Team is the normal Fjord baseline for private team Git hosting: team-owned forge, private repositories, managed backups, SSO, and no per-seat billing.

Seat break-even

13 paid seats

Fjord is $1/mo higher on this model.

That premium buys managed Forgejo operations, no per-seat growth penalty, code sovereignty, and a no-AI-training posture.
If those are not buying criteria, the cheaper standard host may be the more economical choice.
Add migration time separately if the move needs planning, import cleanup, or user training.

This is a planning estimate, not procurement advice. Use current vendor pricing and your actual loaded labor cost before making a decision.
