Thanks for the kind words!

For developers everywhere competition is great. We recently made 18 new features free and open source https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/03/30/new-features-to-cor... and today Github with an improved free plan and their team plan came down to the exact same price as our most affordable plan. BTW Maybe an idea to rename their lowest tier from team, may we suggest bronze? :)

Since you mentioned contrasting here is a quick take on the features that you lose if you go from a GitHub Pro account to a Free account, I got the list from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22867974 :

    Protected branches in private repos => Free on GItLab
    Draft PRs in private repos => Free on GItLab
    GitHub Pages in private repos (using 1) => => Free on GItLab
    Wikis in private repos => Free on GItLab
    Code owners in private repos => Bronze on GItLab
    Multiple issue assignees in private repos => Bronze on GItLab
    Multiple PR assignees in private repos => Bronze on GItLab
    Code review automatic assignment in private repos => ?
    Scheduled reminders in private repos => TODOs are free on GitLab
    Standard support => Bronze on GitLab
For a complete comparison across all the stages (like monitor and defend) please see https://about.gitlab.com/devops-tools/github-vs-gitlab.html



One big differentiator that GitHub has vs GitLab is the availability of monthly pricing. This was a deal breaker against GitLab for us.


Thanks, good point, we're looking at changing this.


Thanks for your inputs! Offering the flexibility of monthly pricing to our customers is definitely one of our priorities. We are currently working on optimizing the online portal to ensure our customers have a seamless experience when monthly pricing is available.
