Choosing a GitLab subscription

To choose the right GitLab subscription, choose an offering and a tier.

Choose a subscription

Choose which GitLab subscription suits your needs:

• GitLab SaaS: The GitLab software-as-a-service offering. You don't need to install anything to use GitLab SaaS, you only need to sign up and start using GitLab straight away.
• GitLab Dedicated: A single-tenant SaaS service for highly regulated and large enterprises.
• GitLab self-managed: Install, administer, and maintain your own GitLab instance.

On a GitLab self-managed instance, a GitLab subscription provides the same set of features for all users. On GitLab SaaS, you can apply a subscription to a group namespace. You cannot apply a subscription to a personal namespace.

NOTE: Subscriptions cannot be transferred between GitLab SaaS and GitLab self-managed. A new subscription must be purchased and applied as needed.

Choose a GitLab tier

Pricing is tier-based, allowing you to choose the features which fit your budget. For information on what features are available at each tier for each product, see the GitLab self-managed feature comparison.
