I will probably set up an account soon and try it out for myself but just from looking a gitlab.com it's not entirely clear what difference there is between EE and gitlab.com hosting. Are all the features of EE available on the SAAS version? Why is there so much emphasis on the self hosted options, is that something you are seeing a lot of demand for? I'm finding it hard to come up with a good reason to want to take on the burden of maintaining a source control server when there are good cheap cloud options.

Why is the gitlab.com option so cheap, even for corporations even if they pay for support? I understand you're still trying to gain market share more than be profitable right now but as a company paying nothing for the product certainly makes me feel like it might go away at any moment and even if we pay for support we may not receive the level of support that we need.

As corporate users, maybe we're not gitlab's target audience right now but aside from those questions it seems like a nice alternative to github, especially with regards to the additional ability to have pull requests rebased before merge...
