GitLab offers tiers of features. Your subscription determines which tier you have access to. Subscriptions are valid for 12 months.

GitLab provides special subscriptions to participants in:

Choose a GitLab subscription

When choosing a subscription, there are two factors to consider:

Choose between GitLab SaaS or GitLab self-managed

There are some differences in how a subscription applies, depending if you use GitLab SaaS or GitLab self-managed:

  • GitLab SaaS: The GitLab software-as-a-service offering. You don't need to install anything to use GitLab SaaS, you only need to sign up and start using GitLab straight away.
  • GitLab Dedicated: a single-tenant SaaS service for highly regulated and large enterprises.
  • GitLab self-managed: 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, allowing you to choose the features which fit your budget. For information on what features are available at each tier for each product, see:

License requirements for GitLab for Open Source Program members

To add a license:

  1. On the top bar, select Menu > Projects and find your project.
  2. On the overview page, select Add LICENSE. If the license you want is not available as a license template, manually copy the entire, unaltered text of your chosen license into the LICENSE file. Note that GitLab defaults to All rights reserved if users do not perform this action.

Applicants must add the correct license to each project in their respective groups or namespaces When you're sure you're using OSI-approved licenses for your projects, you can take your screenshots.

Verification for Open Source Program

As part of the application verification process, you must upload three screenshots:

Benefits of the GitLab Open Source Program apply to all projects in a GitLab namespace. All projects in an eligible namespace must meet program requirements. However, if you submit materials for one project in your namespace, the open source program team uses that project to verify the contents of the entire namespace you use when applying to the program.

Screenshot 1: License overview
  1. On the top bar, select Menu > Projects and find your project.
  2. On the left sidebar, select your project avatar. If you haven't specified an avatar for your project, the avatar displays as a single letter.
