Looking at their pricing page, it seems that the Ultimate tier, and even the premium tier, has a lot of features that many of their customers will never use. I am assuming that the pricing plan is set by deployment and not by user, otherwise a company could buy 5 Ultimate seats, 20 Premiums, and the rest join for free. There is no point in buying Ultimate for 100 users when only 5 of them would ever want to use the Ultimate features.

From the FAQ on their pricing page: "Can I acquire a mix of licenses? No, all users in the group need to be on the same plan." Which is frankly stupid. You make more money from 20 devs on ultimate and the rest of the company (100) on silver than you get from having 25 devs + essential managers on the ultimate plan and no one else using it at all. Let alone the number of customers who will look for 120 licenses for the entire company and dismiss the entire product suite as they can't afford it.

That only has to be true WRT revenue. Depending on the margins (which, in the case of loss-leaders, are negative), it might not be true for profits

  Their whole pricing scheme is ludicrous, which they defend as "its better for GitLab!"
