I currently use Github free. I have made a private repository and have added a few collaborators to it. Now, whenever they code, they make a PR for that. I want that only reviewed/approved PRs should be merged. I know that there are Github Branch Protection rules available for that but they are not available for private repositories with Github free. So I'm thinking to upgrade my Github to Github Pro. I want to ask if my collaborators also need to buy it? Like is it linked with the collaborators or with the repo or the account?

If I buy and add the rules, will it work for other collaborators too?

If the repository is on your account and not an organization, only you need the pro plan to set up rules. They will be active for all collaborators.
