GitLab Trial Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s included in a free trial
Your free trial includes nearly all features of our Ultimate tier, with the below considerations in mind:
GitLab.com Ultimate & GitLab Duo Enterprise trials
- Are 30 days and include a Duo Enterprise trial for the same length, for up to 100 users.
- Include the use of a single project token that is available with the trial license.
- Do not include the use of group tokens.
- Are limited to 400 compute minutes per month.
Self-managed Ultimate trials
- Are currently 30 days and do not include a Duo Enterprise trial. Generally, free trials exclude support at any level. If you wish to evaluate GitLab for support expertise or SLA performance specifically, please contact sales to discuss options.
After your trial ends, you can maintain a GitLab Free account forever or upgrade to a paid plan.
GitLab.com vs. Self-Managed
Certain features are only available on Self-managed. Certain AI/ML powered features are limited to GitLab.com. Compare the full list of features here.
Pricing and discounts
A credit/debit card is not required for customers who do not use GitLab.com CI/CD, bring their own runners, or disable shared runners. However, credit/debit card details are required if you choose to use GitLab.com shared runners. This change was made to discourage abuse of the free compute minutes provided on GitLab.com to mine cryptocurrencies - which created performance issues for GitLab.com users. When you provide the card, it will be verified with a one-dollar authorization transaction. No charge will be made and no money will transfer. Learn more here.
Subscription information is listed on our pricing page.
Yes! We provide free Ultimate licenses to qualifying open source projects, startups, and educational institutions. Find out more by visiting our GitLab for Open Source, GitLab for Startups, and GitLab for Education program pages.
For GitLab.com, you can easily upgrade - just purchase a subscription, create a group, and add users. If you are self-hosting GitLab EE, you can enable all the features available on your tier by activating your instance with an activation code. If you want to upgrade from GitLab CE to one of the paid tiers, follow the guides in our documentation to upgrade to EE.
