It’s worth noting that there’s nothing stopping you from rolling your own continuous integration solution with Bitbucket or GitLab either. They just check out the code like any other Git client.

Each offers an on-premises solution for hosting repos inside your firewall — GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, and Bitbucket Server. And here is where the battle for the enterprise begins.

While the first two tiers are fairly similar in price, GitHub is quite a bit more expensive at that third tier: $21 per month/user vs Bitbucket’s $6 per month/user.

As Bitbucket is more like private code storage, many people often decide to use it over GitHub. That said, if you need a private space to save your codes, you can certainly opt for Bitbucket.
