Which should you pick?

The two programs are not directly comparable on dollar value. Atlassian accepts a wider range of funding stages, while GitBook is more targeted. Atlassian credits last longer (12 months versus 6). If you qualify for both, there is usually no reason not to apply to both; the programs are independent.
