# 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](gitlab_com/index.md): The GitLab software-as-a-service offering.
|
|
You don't need to install anything to use GitLab SaaS, you only need to
|
|
[sign up](https://gitlab.com/users/sign_up) and start using GitLab straight away.
|
|
- [GitLab Dedicated](gitlab_dedicated/index.md): A single-tenant SaaS service for highly regulated and large enterprises.
|
|
- [GitLab self-managed](self_managed/index.md): 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](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/), 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](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/feature-comparison/).
|
|
|
|
## Find your subscription
|
|
|
|
The following chart should help you determine your subscription model. Select
|
|
the list item to go to the respective help page.

## Contact Support
|
|
|
|
- See the tiers of [GitLab Support](https://about.gitlab.com/support/).
|
|
- [Submit a request](https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) through the Support Portal.

|
|
|
We also encourage all users to search our project trackers for known issues and existing feature requests in the [GitLab project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/).
|

|
These issues are the best avenue for getting updates on specific product plans and for communicating directly with the relevant GitLab team members.
