Gitpod Classic is the current pay-as-you-go plan that will remain unchanged until September 2025, after which it will be replaced by Gitpod Enterprise or the free tier. Current users do not need to take any action, but are encouraged to try new features and sign up for the free tier. The free tier is suitable for personal use, allowing users to run environments locally with Gitpod Desktop or self-host a runner in their cloud account. In September 2025, existing free tier users will be required to move onto the new free tier, which will still offer Gitpod-hosted compute but powered by a new architecture.
