# GitLab subscription **(PREMIUM)**
|
|
|
|
GitLab offers tiers of features. Your subscription determines which tier you
|
|
have access to. Subscriptions are valid for 12 months.
|
|
|
|
GitLab provides special subscriptions to participants in:
|
|
|
|
- [Education](#gitlab-for-education-subscriptions)
|
|
- [Open Source](#gitlab-for-open-source-subscriptions)
|
|
|
|
## Choose a GitLab subscription
|
|
|
|
When choosing a subscription, there are two factors to consider:
|
|
|
|
- [GitLab SaaS or GitLab self-managed](#choose-between-gitlab-saas-or-gitlab-self-managed)
|
|
- [GitLab tier](#choose-a-gitlab-tier)
|
|
|
|
### 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](gitlab_com/index.md): The GitLab software-as-a-service offering.
|
|
You don't need to install anything to use GitLab SaaS, you only need to
|
|
[sign up](https://gitlab.com/users/sign_up) and start using GitLab straight away.
|
|
- [GitLab self-managed](self_managed/index.md): 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.
|
|
|
|
### Choose a GitLab tier
|
|
|
|
Pricing is [tier-based](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/), allowing you to choose
|
|
the features which fit your budget. For information on what features are available
|
|
at each tier for each product, see:
|
|
|
|
- [GitLab SaaS feature comparison](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/gitlab-com/feature-comparison/)
|
|
- [GitLab self-managed feature comparison](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/self-managed/feature-comparison/)
|
|
|
|

## Contact Support
|
|
|
|
Learn more about:
|
|
|
|
- The tiers of [GitLab Support](https://about.gitlab.com/support/).
|
|
- [Submit a request via the Support Portal](https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us/requests/new).
|
|
|
|
We also encourage all users to search our project trackers for known issues and
|
|
existing feature requests in the
|
|
[GitLab project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/).
|
|
|
|
These issues are the best avenue for getting updates on specific product plans
|
|
and for communicating directly with the relevant GitLab team members.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
