Source: https://get.assembla.com/pricing/ ## Key features - **Git and SVN hosting:** Unlimited repositories for Git and Apache Subversion, with Git LFS. - **Code review:** Merge requests, inline comments and multi-reviewer approvals. - **Ticketing and sprints:** Growth includes ticketing, backlog, milestones, a standup board and burndown charts. - **Time tracking:** Time tracking and reports are listed under project management. - **Wikis and message board:** Documentation and discussion live next to the code. - **Hosting regions:** EU, US and APAC regions are listed for Starter and Growth. ## Good for - Teams that still run SVN and want pull-request style review - Small software teams that want code hosting and tickets from one vendor - Companies that need SOC 2 and audit logs, which the vendor lists on every plan ## Worth knowing - Project management is included only from Growth; Starter is code hosting. - Storage beyond the included amount is an add-on, and premium 24x5 support is an add-on until Custom Cloud. - Perforce Cloud is priced separately, from $52.20 per user / month billed annually ($58 month to month). - The pricing page shows an annual-billing toggle with a 10% badge; the per-user prices here match its annual totals but the monthly-billing figures are not in the page text. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Assembla hosts Git and SVN code with code review and tickets. But Starter at $12.50 is code hosting only, project management starts at Growth at $19, and there is no free plan. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $12.50 a user a month on yearly billing, but project management needs Growth at $19, past the $15.95 where the dearer quarter starts. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 14-day trial with no card is the only free part. There is no free plan. - **Features: C.** Git and SVN hosting, code review, tickets, sprints, time tracking and wikis. Project management is not in Starter. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Repositories, permissions and integrations have to be set up. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with Slack, Jira, GitHub, Travis CI, Zapier and TestRail links.

What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 80 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $150 a year. - You could make: Issue tracking, time tracking and wiki: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Slack, Jira and GitHub among them, and has an API. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
