I really like how GitLab is shaping up. I hope they start getting a bit more mind share from GitHub, but I think they really shot themselves in the foot with that recent pricing change. [1]
Having to pay the same amount per license, for folks that just want to create/edit or even just view issues, as a full blown developer is simply not tractable. There's a lot of value in the platform and all else equal I'd probably pick GitLab if I had to choose between GitLab, GitHub, BitBucket, JetBrains Space, or Shudder Azure DevOps.
But the price. Damn, it's just impossible to make that argument to yourself, never mind your CTO.

- apple4ever 6y agoIts been years like that. They aren't going to change.
- merb 6y agoyeah, my company aswell, we only need 1 required reviewer, but paying for that like $19 per user (we are 5, so $95 for that per month) is a little bit ridiculous. granted it probably comes with support, but as a small company you do not care about support, you care about $1200 a year. I loved the jira/stash pricing, 10 person shop was $10 a year so $30 with stash + jira agile (there was a time where agile costed extra), but no support. the price of course was ridiculously cheap, but granted that was something were you did not even needed to talk about the cost, it was assumed that it was worth it and there was no cost/feature evalulation. edit: kudos to them they already offer tons of stuff for free.
