GitLab Premium price – what is changing?

Effective April 3, 2023, GitLab increases the list price of GitLab Premium from $19 to $29 per user per month. Existing GitLab Premium customers will have a one-time transition price of $24 per user per month automatically applied to their upcoming renewals until April 2, 2024. 

As GitLab’s first price increase in more than five years, this new pricing for GitLab Premium reflects the evolution of GitLab from source control and continuous integration (CI) to comprehensive development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) Platform.
