Personal anecdote: I recently looked at the Gitlab pricing / model, in particular for on-premise hosting, as we came across Gitlab booth at a show. I wasn't very happy with our solution so an alternative would have been really welcome. I was so confused by the many redirects and feature lists on the page that we decided to ask a representative there to explain it to us instead. If I remember correctly the outcome was that if we host it ourselves we pay 100$/person/month.

What surprised me was how surprised the representative was that there is absolutely no way I would be able to convince the CFO to go from 0 to 100$/person a month for a bit of convenience. Apparently, quote: There are many who are happy to pay that. - WHO AND WHY?

It doesn't even matter if you self-host or not. It's the same price either way. I have the same question as you.

Granted we are a large company but we went from GitLab's Premium to the Ultimate. The Ultimate was the $100/month per. We found the aggregate cost of the solutions, maintenance, infra, time, etc., that made up what Ultimate offered was far in excess of we were going to have to do. BTW, they will likely negotiate with you if you like the capability but not the cost. Per the other users comment, if its self hosted, Gitlab should be more flexible with the pricing. My 2 cents. :)
