Is the Free Tier Enough?
GitLab offers a free tier: 5GB storage, 400 CI/CD minutes, unlimited repos
The free plan works well for individual users and small teams getting started. If you need advanced features, more storage, or team collaboration, you will likely need to upgrade to the Starter or Pro plan. We recommend starting free and upgrading only when you hit a concrete limitation.

Best for growing teams (5-50) who need advanced features, integrations, and priority support at $99/user/mo (Ultimate)/mo.
