GitLab Adds Flat-Rate Code Reviews, Free-Tier AI Access, and Spending Caps
"GitLab reports that code review times have increased by 91% at companies using AI coding tools, with a typical engineer at a large company waiting 13 hours for a merge request to be merged."
"The headline pricing change is a flat $0.25 per automated code review, regardless of the size or complexity of the merge request, contrasting with competitors charging $15 to $25."
"Free-tier users on GitLab.com can now access the Duo Agent Platform by buying GitLab Credits, which are allocated at the group level rather than per seat."
GitLab has released versions 18.10 and 18.11 of its DevSecOps platform, introducing a flat rate of $0.25 per automated code review. This change addresses the backlog in code reviews, which has increased by 91% due to AI coding tools. The new pricing model encourages teams to utilize reviews for all changes, not just significant ones. Free-tier users can access the Duo Agent Platform through GitLab Credits, which are allocated at the group level. Additionally, version 18.10 includes a security feature for detecting false positives in static analysis.
