What is the difference between individual and organization accounts in github?

What is the goal?
I have a small team
The repos need to be private
What is the minimum cost configuration I need on github to achieve this?
Can I do this in an individual account?
Or do I need a org/team account?
what is it that I cannot do, if I am already able to have private repos in individual accounts?

Individual plans
Unlimited private repos for 7$ a month
You can invite collaborators
A paid personal account allows you to invite collaborators directly to your private repositories. If you need more granular permissions beyond full access, an organization plan is recommended.

I sent that question to github support
they took 2 days to answer. It is ok. Reasonable SLA.
Here is the specific answer: "Thanks for writing in! A quick way to know if you are looking at an individual account versus an organizational account is with an individual account, you will see the picture of the user and their repositories. If you are on a organization account's page, you will see a list of repositories and tabs with different options. The layouts are similar but do the same thing with a little tweak."

There may be a way to tell
//Individual account URL
https://github.com/SatyaKomatineni
//An individual Repos URL
https://github.com/SatyaKomatineni
//An Orgs URL may look like this
//So they are not that different
https://github.com/(your-org-name)
//tab difference
An org will have
teams
People
as tabs
//URL difference for assets
https://github.com/orgs/(your-org)/people/SatyaKomatineni
//Not sure yet how an orgs repo URL may look like

How to upgrade to an individual Pro account
Go to billing settings and you will see an option to upgrade.
In an individual account a collaborator is not tied to the account but to particular repo
So the owner of the account and hence the repo can invite collaborators for each repo
So only the owner can create new repos (I think.)
