What is the minimal visual studio subscription eligible for VSTS

My question is about the minimal level of a Visual Studio Subscription that is eligible for Visual Studio Team Services. From what I understand you need a Visual Studio Subscription (previously MSDN Subscription) to be able to access VSTS online but someone told me you need the full Enterprise subscription, which I find a bit hard to believe. Is this really true or can you access it with a Professional as well?

You do not need any Visual Studio Subscription to use VSTS: it's free for five users independent of any Visual Studio Subscription.

Beyond the first five users, you can purchase individual per-user licenses. A license is also included with Visual Studio subscriptions. So if you have a Visual Studio Professional Subscription, that will enable the standard features of VSTS.

There are additional features enabled to Visual Studio Enterprise subscribers:

But all other features are available to the free and Visual Studio Professional subscribers.

If you're not looking to develop in VS, but another IDE, you can also just buy the User CAL for Basic code access https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms.vss-vstsuser
