Free tier(Build minutes: 50 mins/mo)

Thanks but no thank you, meanwhile GitLab offers 2000 mins/mo

This was one of the main reasons I moved from bitbucket to gitlab. I hit my 50 mins in a week and was completely disappointed. After using gitlab for a year I’m really glad I left bitbucket. Gitlab has a great product.
Thanks for the feedback. It's greatly appreciated.
This is surprisingly low given what's out there. For comparison:

- Azure pipelines offers 1,800 minutes a month

- Google Cloud Build offers 120 minutes a day

- CircleCI offers 1000 minutes a month

Weird that they wouldn't even try to compete with these.

I think the main reason they don't try is for Atlassian the enterprise market is the most important market. How many enterprises really care about the free tier?

Also aren't free tier customers the most costily in terms of support, etc?

50 mins seems perfect for a trial to see if you want to purchase it.

Semaphore 2.0 offers 1,300 minutes (disclaimer: I'm a cofounder, so you can also AMA).
