GitLab Premium Update

GitLab announced a new pricing for GitLab Premium, effective April 3, 2023.

This change applies to new GitLab Premium subscriptions starting on or after April 3, 2023. For existing GitLab Premium subscriptions (both SaaS and self-managed), this new pricing becomes effective at their next renewal that is on or after April 3, 2023.

This price change does not apply to SaaS and self-managed GitLab Ultimate customers or users of our community programs, including GitLab for Startups, Education, and Open Source.

The following are the effective dates for the changes:

• For new GitLab Premium subscriptions, the new pricing of GitLab Premium will be effective April 3, 2023.
• For existing GitLab Premium subscriptions, the new pricing of GitLab Premium will be effective at their next renewal on or after April 3, 2023.

Over the past five years, we expanded GitLab Premium to include more than 400 features across the entire software delivery lifecycle so customers can focus on delivering high-quality software faster. We’ve added notable capabilities including:

• Ease of getting started: Built-in templates and automatic pipeline creation using Auto DevOps make it easy to get started.
• Pipeline execution: Parent-child pipelines and merge trains help to establish relationships, sequencing, and priorities of jobs to ensure faster execution and keep the target branch stable.
• Agile planning: Roadmaps, epics, boards, and milestones enable enterprise Agile planning best practices and management of projects, programs, and products at a team and organizational level.
• Analytics and visibility: Value stream analytics, contribution analytics, environments dashboards, MR analytics, code review analytics, and more track metrics driving software delivery efficiency.
• Release controls: Code owners, multiple approvers, approval rules, protected environments, various rollout strategies like incremental/canary, feature flags, and fine-grained authentication and authorization mechanisms minimize production risks and ensure shipping high-quality code.
• Compliance: Compliance frameworks and audit events enable compliance adherence.
• Performance and fault tolerance: Distributed cloning using GitLab Geo, fault-tolerant git storage with Gitaly, geographic replication, and load balancing for self-managed deployment of GitLab for improved performance and fault tolerance.

See the upcoming releases roadmap to learn how GitLab will continue to iterate on GitLab Premium to deliver value and innovation to customers every month.

Renewals can be done no earlier than 14 days before the current subscription end date. At the time of renewal, existing GitLab Premium customers can take advantage of the transition offer.

Existing GitLab Premium subscriptions can take advantage of a one-time transition price of $24 per user per month for a one-year renewal of their GitLab Premium seats at their next renewal within the first year after the effective price increase date (i.e. by April 2, 2024).

The transition price will be applied in the following ways:

• For GitLab premium customers renewing their subscription directly on the web store, the transition price will be auto-applied to their eligible subscription at renewal.
• For GitLab premium customers renewing their subscription through GitLab sales representatives or partners, the transition price will be applied by the respective GitLab sales representatives or partners

Customers can view the current number of users, start date, end date, and other details of their subscription as follows:

• SaaS customers
• Self-managed customers

New add-on users will be added at the current effective per seat price of their subscription prorated for the remainder of their subscription period. For example, if a customer has taken advantage of the transition offer, the new add-on users will be at the transition price.

If there is a license overage during the transition offer subscription term, the true-ups at the next renewal will be charged the standard Premium list price ($29/user/month).

This offer is only available for one year after the effective date of April 3, 2023 (i.e., until April 2, 2024).

Customers in Year 3 of End of Availability for Bronze / Starter continue to eligible to receive the transitional offer described in the announcement post: the first 25 users at $15/user. For seats beyond the first 25, contact your sales representative: discounts may be applied at the current list price of Premium.
