The pricing does seem unusual. Dropbox is also $0.06/year GB. A dev/b2b servicing charging 100x as much as a consumer service seems very strange.

At least they could charge in increments if 1 or 2GB.

I think its simply a reselling of GCP storage services with overhead cost of their backup redundancy and SRE on-call.

But even with all that, 6GB per year definitely make you question the value of using Gitlab Container Registry vs Your Cloud of choice similar offering.

They simply know the storage limit is the one users will most likely exceed first so having all of it bundled instead of separate price for storage and for "compute" would net them less money.

From their perspective it's basically "as long as it is cheaper than customer paying someone to set up gitlab instance"

> Dropbox is also $0.06/year GB.

Dropbox is 10€/month, which comes with a max cap of 2TB for what amounts to cold storage for docs that are rarely touched.

GitLab comes at 20€/month, and comes with a max cap of 50GB for files that are actively edited.

Comparing GB is disingenuous as the usecases involving storage are hardly comparable.
