We are a Gitlab client, and very happy with their service. I hope that their business model succeeds, and am happy to be supporting them. The Bronze --> Premium transition seems to me to be a valid price restructuring, and this will prompt us to upgrade to Premium rather than downgrade to Free. However, - Ultimate seems like minimal value for substantial extra cost. There's no way we could ever justify it. - The collaboration model is terrible. We would love to introduce lots of our clients to gitlab as part of a collaboration - thereby increasing gitlab's mindshare, install base, and potential customer base - but the price tag attached to inviting a previously-free-tier collaborator doesn't make sense for us. - Premium needs to include Jira-killing features. Do that and we're yours probably for life.
