Yes, there are lots of options in the space, but no one wants to use an option that is 75% as good as Github and still costs more. The only way to gain marketshare is to either get bundled into an enterprise contract (so it doesn't matter if you suck) or be better than Github and still underprice your product. Even Google gave up on their code hosting option because there's no way to get market share without setting money on fire. God bless Gitlab, but if Microsoft keeps supporting Github like this (and the FTC keeps taking long naps), they're going to run out money and die.
