Now I remember why I didn’t use GitLab the last time I looked at it. The ultimate plan costs way more than GitHub and it doesn’t have the most basic security feature - an IP AllowList.

Since the price of Ultimate, which doesn’t look cool, far exceeds GitHub already, the cost of dedicated which is how you get the IP AllowList is probably far too much. They don’t even list a price. I found out that ultimate is $99 per month.
This makes me wonder why anyone would choose GitLab over GitHub. The revised business/enterprise user management has made me hate GitHub, but I guess I can live with that.
Large enterprises likely choose the Dedicated option. Most small companies are as aware of the security issues. If they could fix a couple of things I just posted in my wishlist I’d switch in an instant. I like it way better upon first review except for the small list of things I wrote in there.
I have a typo above. The price of ultimate is too high but the features DO look cool, I meant to say. There are a lot of code scanning and governance options but I didn’t test them all out. Just missing super basic network controls.
I looked at self-hosted GitLab in the AWS Marketplace. The cost is like minimum $3k per year with security features. Too steep for one or two people. Plus I see a lot of GitLab vulnerabilities announced so you have to keep it updated. I would prefer the cloud hosted version.
