Agreed, $125/mo. may be more than you or I are willing to spend. I don't understand how it's over the top if you're on the hook for a team of 5.
Personally, I wouldn't use Fogbugz based on the fact that it costs $125/mo. But, I know I'm not their target audience.
You might want to take a look at one of the following
Unfuddle - Project Management + Git/Subversion Hosting http://unfuddle.com/
Assembla http://www.assembla.com/

I've always liked Unfuddle.
A lot depends on how you run your team, of course.

Try our app Runway: http://runwaypm.com/
Email me (see profile) or fill out the form for an invite.
It specifically sets out to help people in your situation, because we went through it ourselves.

Whoever's downvoting - this isn't spam, I'm a long time HNer. We couldn't find what we wanted so we built our own, hopefully this will help some others out there. The app is free - we aren't charging early adopters.
I agree - $125 is way overpriced. Try TaskPoint http://www.taskpoint.com which is highly customized SaaS fork of popular open source package Redmine and was MassChallenge finalist last year.
ActiveCollab is similar and started out as a basecamp alternative. It's a single purchase + yearly upgrade/support fee license for your entire team.

We have been using Project Turf for a month now and we like it so far. The user interface is sleek, you have unlimited users and unlimited storage and the prices are quite reasonable.
Wow, Project Turf looks very nice. I'm definitely going to recommend this for at least a trial in my group. We're a network operations team so it's hard to find something that's not geared towards software development groups. Nice recommendation.
Thanks, my team is going to try out project turf for its 2 week trial, and then re-evaluate. so far so good (all I did was add tasks, but basecamp failed that test...)
Finishing up http://ReadyTakeoff.com in the next few days :)
Project Bubble http://projectbubble.com
Thanks Jeff!!! You're awesome. Yes check out Project Bubble if you want a great UI.
rule.fm is a new entrant. I haven't ever used it but it looks pretty good. Worth checking out.
