Yes but Gogs is self-hosted whereas Gitlab offers hosting solutions.
4 comments

I'm somewhat dumbfounded at the no-less-than-three sibling commenters here all chiming in with the same repeated misinterpretation of your post.

I suspect those downvoting you didn't take time to read your comment properly either.

I blame the misunderstandings on the non-standard syntax: > Yes but Gogs is self-hosted whereas Gitlab offers hosting solutions.

Replying that, to someone who literally said they switched from GitLab to Gogs for self-hosted repositories, also made me parse it as implying one word: > Yes, but Gogs is self-hosted, whereas GitLab offers [only] hosting solutions.

but the author probably meant something like: > Yes, but Gogs is [exclusively] self-hosted, whereas GitLab [also] offers hosting solutions [so switching is not always an option].

Spot on. I'm a non-native english speaker, so my syntax sometimes leaves to be desired. Sorry for the confusion.
GitLab has self hosted solutions
You can host Gitlab.
Here's a link to the self-hosted GitLab https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/#self-managed
