Community Contribution at GitLab

Still pissed they dropped their Starter licensing tier. It had all the features above the free version that we needed and cost (I think) $4/user/month.

Then they dropped that tier and forced us to move to the next tier up which was $19/user/month (now $29 it seems?) and filled with features we don't need or want.

Needless to say we're currently in the process of moving to an alternative.

I absolutely understand that why you don’t like the price implications.

I am curious however what features you don’t want/need in the other tier

Just curious, why not just self-host if you are worried about pricing? It is pretty easy and you have full control.

We do self-host but features are still gated behind licensing.

They weren’t making any money (and still aren’t profitable) at $4 a user.

The pricing was the same for self-hosted installs...

What alternative are you moving to? What features does this alternative have?

I wanted to add scanning for my single person hobby projects and was willing to pay. I immediately lost interest when I saw their pricing ($99/mo).
