What Assembla is
Assembla provides managed Git and Git LFS hosting, with SVN and Perforce repositories also listed. Git code review includes merge requests, reviewer assignment, inline comments, mandatory review workflows, and protected branches. Growth and Custom Cloud plans add project management tools such as sprints, ticketing, milestones, burndown charts, wikis, and time tracking. Git LFS is included in every plan: Starter provides 10GB per user and Growth provides 50GB per user. The REST API gives programmatic access to repositories, tickets, users, and webhooks. Listed integrations include Jenkins, Travis CI, Jira, TestRail, Slack, Trello, GitHub, Bitbucket, and Zapier. Security provisions include SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, two-factor authentication, role-based access controls, IP whitelisting, branch protection, AES-256 encryption at rest, and SSL/TLS in transit. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Starter costs $12.50/user/mo, Growth costs $19.00/user/mo, and Custom Cloud has no listed price.
