it would be great if you would change it to something like "monthly subscription" "per user pricing". Which means I could start with 2 users, add 10 and pay for them and maybe then I will kick two in the next month and will pay for 10. Paying on demand is something that I think would be really really good. AWS style.

I understand that need but having smaller tiers that 10 people is inefficient on our side and we would need to raise the price.
Your current pricing model is fine. If someone needs GitLab, they'll pay for it. If they don't pay for it, they don't need it. $30-60/year is cheap, even for a hobbyist project.
I think you may have validated what the OP was saying :-) It's $3.25 per user per month, but the minimum order is 10 users. So the minimum price is $390 per year.
Looks like my math was off. Still agree with Gitlab. Focus on business customers, not hobbyists.
We aren't hobbyists, we are just a small company 5+-1. And sometimes we hire people for a small amount of time, which could exceed 10. So for that time we would need to have a bigger license?!
If you exceed 10 non-blocked users you would need a bigger license. If you can block certain users at certain times you would be able to use 1 user pack (the users are not named).
