GitLab Credits is a new usage-based pricing model replacing seat-based pricing for GitLab Duo Agent Platform. Instead of purchasing individual AI seats, organizations get a pooled virtual currency where each credit costs $1 on-demand. Premium customers receive $12 and Ultimate customers receive $24 in included monthly credits per user during a limited-time promotion. Credits are consumed based on agentic AI requests to LLMs, with rates varying by model. The system includes usage dashboards, granular access controls, automated alerts at 50/80/100% thresholds, and volume discounts for annual commitments. This model enables every team member to access AI capabilities without upfront seat purchases, automatically balancing power users against light users to reduce total AI costs.
