Plans don't seem to have a monthly payment instead of annual: https://customers.gitlab.com/subscriptions/new?plan_id=2c92a...

P.S. Why do I need to enter my login again after signing in via Gitlab API?

P.P.S. Group pricing seems unfair. I will be paying 4x for 4 users with the same amount of CI minutes split across 4 users?

We're currently only doing annual billing, we may look into monthly billing in the future.

The billing application is a separate app and effectively oAuths with GitLab - you should just be able to click on the login button and if you are already authenticated, grant permission to the billing app.

Interestingly, we've found little to no correlation between the number of users in a group and CI usage. Moving forward, the plans are going to be much more feature-centric than just CI minutes, hence the per user per month pricing model.

I think if you bill your customers per year it would be fair to list the prices per year as well rather than 'per user per month'. You're setting up an expectation of a monthly billing cycle with the option to cancel monthly as well. Principle of least surprise and all that.

Fair criticism, I've brought it up with the team. Thanks :)

We will fix it in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/...

Super. That's a pretty quick turn around :)

That's live now, thanks for your help.

You're more than welcome and I'm super impressed with the speed with which you take feedback like this and put it to work.

I think the GitLab Frontend team should improve this site. The navbar is not aligned correct, missing clearfixes and in general just carelessly put together.

You want my money, so I can at least expect you to provide me with a proper page to pay you. :)

We'll have a look at improving this.
