Choose between GitLab SaaS or GitLab self-managed

There are some differences in how a subscription applies, depending if you use GitLab SaaS or GitLab self-managed:

  • GitLab SaaS: The GitLab software-as-a-service offering. You don't need to install anything to use GitLab SaaS, you only need to sign up and start using GitLab straight away.
  • GitLab self-managed: Install, administer, and maintain your own GitLab instance.

On a GitLab self-managed instance, a GitLab subscription provides the same set of features for all users. On GitLab SaaS, you can apply a subscription to either a group or a personal namespace.

NOTE: Subscriptions cannot be transferred between GitLab SaaS and GitLab self-managed. A new subscription must be purchased and applied as needed.
