Just last week I was starting the process of migrating a client (6 users total) from Bitbucket/Trello over to Gitlab Bronze.
Not any more.
That price hike is nuts and well out of the grasp of many small startups watching their cashflow!
Gitlab is moving to a three-tier product subscription model

Variation of the same here. We did try to show, for example, that we could roll off some contractors if we shut down all of the various jenkins instances. But that wasn't enough to justify the "ultimate" tier, we went with "premium". And the business case still had to include fluff to make it sound at all like a good idea. Note that it IS a good idea in this case, but for reasons that are hard to show as dollars. It…
"One thing they could do is reduce the cost for non-developer seats. Lots of people need access to the issues, or builds/deploys, etc, without needing to commit code." Exactly! Lower tier users would solve many of the issues.
This is what I like about azure devops. Stakeholder licences are available for free with access to boards and wiki but not code repos.

#273Wanted to see the pricing page, but the burger menu button isn’t working at all. Anyone else? I am on Safari, iOS 13.
Here's a link to the pricing page: https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/

So they can retarget you as a potential customer. I totally get your annoyance, but they probably do mostly online marketing, so it makes sense for them.
It's especially annoying because their competition does not use cookies. https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/
Their competition is owned by MS, and doesn't need to worry about turning a profit on their activity.
Note that I'm not justifying the behaviour, just commenting on it.
Re: Gitlab is moving to a three-tier product subscription model
#275You're pricing was off already anyway, considering we don't use most of the stuff you push upon us. Peculiar timing, Space was just released, you worsen your plans and get way too expensive. I kinda get the feeling you want to narrow down your target audience.
We'll probably switch to Space or something else, considering that we only use merge requests, CI and the repo itself anyway.

Yes, I'm fairly certain it is. We switched to the SaaS because of that, it wasn't worth the hassle of self-hosting when you get all the responsibility and still pay the same price.
What? I thought the draw of GitLab is that it’s open source. Anyone can download it and run it on a server without paying a dime.
You would also need to reimplement the paid features yourself. Only the core (free) gitlab is open source.

How would that help? You still have to pay the license fee...
Is the price for self-hosted usage the same as SaaS? I could not find a clear answer.
we move from github to self hosted Gitlab for ~10% of what we paid for Github.
so far didn't miss anything from Github since our dev mostly use it as git server only.
Re: Gitlab is moving to a three-tier product subscription model
#278Okay this is bad. I had just convinced management to get us on Bronze Plan, now it's gone. Intially the whole team ~10 Dev's were in Bitbucket, was considering between GitHub and GitLab since Gitlab allowed importing pull request issues, whereas GitHub support just asked me to write my own plugin for the same.
Re: Gitlab is moving to a three-tier product subscription model
#279Well, this ruined my teams Tuesday. We are on the Bronze plan with over 300 users company wide. My department of 40 does the vast majority (90% plus of all commits/MRs) of the coding in the company, but we enrolled everyone within operations as well so that they could contribute on occasion. The rest of those users are never going to be worth spending $19 a month on, but it really sucks having to put up barriers from…
Ruined our day as well.
This price hike in combination with the change of how they count users made it a 1100% price increase for us.
It went from having active devs in the organization being paid users to "anyone with guest access to a subproject" requiring a seat.
It also went from "you can have guests at no cost" to "you must pay seats for guest access".
And it wants payment on bot accounts as well, as they ALSO use a seat.
So, our organization went from 7 active users and 14 in the organization, to suddenly requiring 30+ seats. This includes us paying for people who are ONLY involved in the Open Source projects we have.
And then the price hike on top of that.
Let me just say it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

Azure Devops is such a good product. I’m really surprised it doesn’t get more love to be honest. And the CLI is fully featured and well supported, and makes automating stuff, and building your own UIs ridiculously simple.
Because Microsoft isn’t signing big clients on to it anymore, as they are slowly trying to transition (it’s very early days still) to GitHub Enterprise. They probably won’t talk much about it until the missing features are replicated, but it’s coming. (Based on anecdotes on previous threads about Azure DevOps, and the fact that GitHub is a bit more user friendly).
Which is such a shame, because Azure DevOps is honestly better (apart from the CI system).
