Introducing GitLab Credits, usage-based pricing for GitLab Duo Agent Platform

GitLab introduced GitLab Credits as a new virtual currency for usage-based pricing in its Duo Agent Platform, aiming to address the limitations of seat-based pricing models that create disparities in AI access among engineering teams. This approach allows every team member with a GitLab account to access agentic AI capabilities without needing individual seat purchases, as credits are pooled across the organization and used based on AI requests. The system promotes cost efficiency by offsetting usage among power and light users and provides detailed usage visibility through dashboards, with controls to manage access and notifications to track credit consumption. GitLab Credits start at $1 per credit, with volume discounts available for annual commitments, and are designed to be drawn down based on the number of agentic requests, with different rates for various language models. Existing Premium and Ultimate customers receive promotional credits for a limited time, allowing them to explore Duo Agent Platform features without extra cost, while new customers can start with a GitLab Ultimate trial to experience the platform's capabilities.
