It looks like unlimited private repositories, Gitlab Pages and even some CI minutes (2000/month) will continue to be available in the free plan. Gitlab continues to provide such phenomenal value to free users that I struggle to find a reason to upgrade for my own projects. :)

That said, if I were running a business the extra workflow management tools in the bronze plan ($4/user/mo) and CI minutes in the silver plan ($19/user/mo) make total sense as useful upgrades.

Pricing feedback: Like kcorbitt said you're providing a lot of value to free users but here's some super weird stuff in the silver plan that I don't think should be there:

- Block secret file push

- Fast-forward merge with option to rebase

- Squash and merge

- Multiple assignees for issues

- Issue Boards with Milestones

Aside from the first one those are all features provided by free from Github which also don't make a lot of sense to paywall.

We're evaluating source control right now (have repos all over the place) and I'm wondering if anyone can comment on the Github $25/mo plan vs. Gitlab's and Bitbucket's comparable offerings. It seems like the built-in CI is an advantage for Bitbucket and Gitlab, but I wonder what gotchas we're not seeing right now.

If you're looking for the hosted version, there's lots of complaints about GitLab.com's performance. Bitbucket is quite excellent and integrates well with hosted JIRA too - I'd say it's arguably a better option than GitHub in many cases.

I've had good luck with self-hosted GitLab's performance in my small group, but I've heard tales of others who haven't, so try before you buy if you're doing that. The CI integration is really nice though and GitLab has put good work into that flow. It can also be the cheapest option and keeps you self-reliant if that's something that appeals to you.

Mandatory heads-up for those that haven't come across them: gogs [0] and its fork gitea [1] are zero config, download-and-run, self-hosted alternatives to GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab that won't suck the life out of your server, are efficiently written, and very fast even on underpowered (read: RPi) hardware or shared VPS nodes.

I also find it not nice, but to be fair, all of them will stay for open source projects, so the GitHub argument doesn't apply.
