I second that. I could probably convince my manager to pay $5 per person even if we get no extra features. It's too hard a sell for $19. I think they could do a lot to milk their current free tier users.

We buy compute time periodically and that is a small amount I guess.

We happily pay Bitbucket for our backup storage. I'm sure we'd pay for our code storage if that was required.

Maybe $5/person/month is not a lot for active projects a business relies upon, but the 90% of hobby and (semi-) dormant projects would be deleted or moved to GitHub if Gitlab tried to ask money for them. Which would reduce the attractivity of the platform.
