AWS CodeCommit vs Upsource: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS CodeCommit as "Fully-managed source control service that makes it easy for companies to host secure and highly scalable private Git repositories". CodeCommit eliminates the need to operate your own source control system or worry about scaling its infrastructure. You can use CodeCommit to securely store anything from source code to binaries, and it works seamlessly with your existing Git tools. On the other hand, Upsource is detailed as "Self-hosted Git, Mercurial, Subversion and Perforce repository browser and code review tool". Upsource summarizes recent changes in your repository, showing commit messages, authors, quick diffs, links to detailed diff views and associated code reviews. A commit graph helps visualize the history of commits, branches and merges in your repository.

AWS CodeCommit and Upsource can be primarily classified as "Code Collaboration & Version Control" tools.

Some of the features offered by AWS CodeCommit are:

• Collaboration
• Encryption
• Access Control

On the other hand, Upsource provides the following key features:

• Instantly access all your projects
• Keep track of code changes
• Use code insight in Java projects

"Free private repos" is the primary reason why developers consider AWS CodeCommit over the competitors, whereas "Free for 10 users" was stated as the key factor in picking Upsource.
