Is the price for self-hosted usage the same as SaaS? I could not find a clear answer.

Yes, I'm fairly certain it is. We switched to the SaaS because of that, it wasn't worth the hassle of self-hosting when you get all the responsibility and still pay the same price.

What? I thought the draw of GitLab is that it’s open source. Anyone can download it and run it on a server without paying a dime.

> The open source distribution is available to dowload here and contains all the same features as our Free tier.

So it's missing everything you'd pay GitLab for.

You would also need to reimplement the paid features yourself. Only the core (free) gitlab is open source.

we move from github to self hosted Gitlab for ~10% of what we paid for Github.

so far didn't miss anything from Github since our dev mostly use it as git server only.
