Quick guide to user counts

A private repository has a restricted number of users based on the owner's Bitbucket plan.
A public repository has an unlimited number of users.

Bitbucket plans and pricing for private repositories are based on the number of users allowed for the repository owner's account.

  • Anyone can create a user or team account on Bitbucket. 
  • All accounts can have an unlimited number of public repositories, for no charge. Each public repository can have an unlimited number of users, for no charge.
  • All accounts can create an unlimited number of private repositories for no charge, but the number of users is restricted by the account's plan. See Bitbucket plans.

In short, users count on private repositories but not on public repositories. The count is of individual (distinct) users, not of the number of private repositories a user has access to. A user account has five users including the owner. A team account has five users – the team is the owner but it doesn't count. If the user count reaches the maximum, administrators can no longer to grant repository access to anyone else. 

All repositories have unlimited storage. See What kind of limits do you have on repository/file size? for more information.
