New GitLab Product Subscription Model
Overview
GitLab announced moving to a three tier product subscription model:
- Ending Availability of the GitLab Starter/Bronze Tiers.
- Consistent naming between GitLab self-managed and SaaS deployment models
Our new three tier model can be found on the pricing page.
The following are the effective dates for the changes:
- For new customers, GitLab Starter/Bronze will be unavailable for sale for new customers from January 26, 2021
- For existing customers, these changes will not be effective until the end of your subscription period. To help you navigate through this change, GitLab is offering transition options and price discounts to ease your transition to Premium (see below).
Transition offers for current GitLab Starter/Bronze customers
If you've already renewed on Starter/Bronze for your next term, please contact GitLab Support to upgrade your account to Premium.
We understand that this change could be disruptive for our current Bronze/Starter customers, which is why we are offering transition options and price discounts to ease your transition to Premium:

- If you have more than 25 users, please contact your GitLab Sales Representative who will guide you through your transition discount offers.
