In their own words

Bitbucket

Bitbucket provides distributed version control and tools for teams to plan projects, code, test, and deploy. It supports Git and Mercurial, with Bitbucket Pipelines for building, testing, and deploying code. The Free plan is free forever for up to five users and includes unlimited public and private repositories, 1 GB of LFS storage, and 50 Pipelines build minutes. Standard costs $3.65 a month per user, and Premium costs $7.25 a month per user. Premium adds merge checks, IP allowlisting, deployment permissions, required two-step verification, and smart mirroring; Bitbucket Cloud Premium also includes dedicated 24/7 support and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Free subscribers can seek support through the Atlassian Community. Teams can create branches from Jira issues or Trello cards, and Pipelines integrates with services including AWS, BrowserStack, Sentry, and Snyk. Apps, webhooks, and a REST API provide extension points. Bitbucket Data Center is a self-managed option for customers with strict regulatory or security requirements; its pricing is available by contacting Atlassian, and a free 30-day trial is offered.

Lepton

Lepton is a free desktop code snippet manager that uses GitHub Gist for storage and syncing. It supports unlimited public and secret snippets, unlimited tags, and language groups, plus editing for Markdown and Jupyter Notebook snippets. Search can match filenames, languages, descriptions, tags, IDs, and downloaded snippet contents. Searching all snippet contents globally requires enabling `snippet.downloadAll` before syncing. Lepton supports GitHub Enterprise and lets users sign in with GitHub OAuth or a GitHub personal access token with the `gist` scope. The project says there is no separate sync service: data is stored locally in the app or remotely in GitHub Gist. Packaged builds use Electron safeStorage for cached tokens when available, with a plaintext-file fallback if it is unavailable. Settings in `.leptonrc` include themes, editor options, proxy, shortcuts, notifications, and language. Desktop releases are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, including AppImage and Snap packages for Linux. The project is MIT-licensed. The free plan costs nothing.
