Limits

• CI minutes: 400 minutes a monthCompute minutes on GitLab-hosted runners, per top-level group
• Team seats: 5 seatsUsers per private top-level group

• Signing up does not need a card, but GitLab asks for a card (a $1 verification that is not charged) before you can use its shared runners. Your own runners need no card and have no minute limit.
• Compute minutes are job time multiplied by a cost factor. A small Linux x86 runner has factor 1; medium is 2 and large is 3, so bigger runners use the 400 minutes faster.
• When the minutes run out you can buy extra packs ($10 per 1,000 minutes, one-time payment, which roll over) or upgrade.
• The 5-user cap applies to private top-level groups only. Includes 10 GiB of Git and LFS storage per project.

Usage pricing

• CI minutes: $10 per 1,000 minutes (above 10K minutes)

• $29 per user per month, billed annually. The 10,000 compute minutes are shared by the whole group, not per user.
• Extra minutes are not billed automatically: once the quota is used, shared-runner jobs wait until you buy a pack ($10 per 1,000 minutes, one-time payment, rolls over).
• Compute minutes are job time multiplied by a cost factor (small Linux x86 is 1, medium 2, large 3).
• Includes 500 GiB of Git and LFS storage per project and $12 of GitLab Credits per user per month for AI features.
