In my previous organisation $19/month (IIRC) was a dealbreaker. That was non-US so salaries are lower, and suddenly I had to explain why we absolutely needed the paid version so much (instead of sticking to the free one). To make it worse, most of the people that had access to gitlab were researchers/managers/non-technical people and not actually developers, so only a few people would benefit from the paid version. So we never bought the paid version.
