Wow. Almost feels like a bait and switch. GitLab is now completely uncompetitive with GitHub in terms of price structure. 4-5x on monthly cost.
Meanwhile Sourcehut is still twenty quid a year...

I wonder if there will be the notable absence of the CEO in this thread too. That is remarkable.
I think the blog post with me as the author https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/01/26/new-gitlab-product-... and the FAQ https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/faq-new-product-subscriptio... answer most questions. But happy to answer any other questions.
Okay, so I want to give gitlab the benefit of the doubt here. So look: "GitLab is second only to Microsoft-owned GitHub in this market. GitHub is tough to compete with in part because of Microsoft's financial clout and the fact that GitHub is more a strategic asset to win developers than a profit centre." Aren't ms kinda dumping the price here. As in selling at loss in order to kill competition. Wouldn't this be ille…
What about Bitbucket?

Hasn't Gitlab just been a copying Github machine too from the start? I don't mean to start a fight but I've only ever seen praise from its launch as a wanted competitor, but no one seems to have mentioned the obvious? I know git wasn't invented by Github but from what I remember Github was a pretty clear roadmap for Gitlab.
Honestly that really sucks. We are not impacted by the change (we pay for a higher tier), but we have non coders that would benefit from having gitlab access who don't because the price (which would be the same as for devs) makes it not worth it :/
(Note: This idea isn't fully fleshed-out yet. I'm sure that conceptually this idea has or would have a large amount of problems -- but all of those could in theory be solved in time with the correct engineering efforts...)
We're currently using the starter edition for exactly one reason, ldap integration. Now we're supposed to pay $240 / employee for an ldap integration?! Not sure what we'll do but I suspect scripting some ldap integration into our gitlab will be one of the best spent times in terms of ROI for me this year.

I thought GitLab was ahead of GitHub features?
