# The quarterly subscription reconciliation process
|
|
|
|
GitLab reviews your seat usage every quarter and sends you an invoice for
|
|
any overages.
|
|
|
|
Annual reviews, also known as the [annual true-up process](self_managed/index.md#users-over-license),
|
|
require you to pay the full annual subscription fee for users added anytime during the year. With quarterly
|
|
reviews, you only pay for the remaining period of your subscription term.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you add users in the third quarter of your subscription term, you only
|
|
pay 25% of what you would have paid previously. This results in substantial savings.
|
|
|
|
If it's not possible for you to participate in quarterly reconciliations, you can opt out of the
|
|
process by using a contract amendment. In that case, you default to the annual review.
