What the publisher says
As described on AWS Marketplace.
The agentic era made software purchasing harder to predict. Six months out, you don't know how many seats your teams will need, how much AI your developers will consume, or which new capabilities you'll want to turn on mid-year. GitLab Flex is built for that reality: one annual commitment you can reshape month to month without reopening procurement.
How GitLab Flex works
Show the rest of the publisher’s description (9 more lines)
Commit to an annual spend based on your projected GitLab usage. That commitment creates a balance you draw down monthly as you provision seats, GitLab Credits, and usage-based capabilities. When your needs shift, such as reducing seats while scaling AI agent usage, or adopting a new capability mid-year, you reallocate next month's reservations within your existing agreement. No amendment required.
What's different
Most software models keep seat licenses and usage credits in separate buckets that can't be rebalanced without going back to the table. GitLab Flex puts both under the same commitment, so you can shift budget between seats and AI usage each month without re-procurement.
Coverage
One commitment covers GitLab Premium and Ultimate seats, GitLab Credits (for Duo Agent Platform, hosted runners, and artifact management), and future credit-metered capabilities at the published rate card. Larger commitments unlock better unit pricing, and reserved capacity costs less than on-demand usage.
Pricing model
Monthly drawdown is based on provisioned seats and reserved or consumed GitLab Credits. Volume discounts apply automatically based on commitment size. Usage beyond your annual commitment bills at on-demand rates ($1 per credit; per-seat list price for seats). Cloud-connected deployments bill automatically through your AWS account.
Enterprise governance
Track consumption in real time by capability, project/team, and deployment model. Forecast against your annual balance, configure budget alerts, and set policy-based guardrails per environment. Export usage data for FinOps, procurement, and internal chargeback.

Confirmed means matched to a public authoritative registry. Claimed means the vendor or its listing states it, not yet cross-checked. A framework not shown was not found in any source we hold, which is not evidence against it. Not listed means a scoped registry check found no match for this vendor's domain: a No is a scoped registry check, not a compliance judgment. Confidence bands: 95% domain-verified, 90% registry-checked, 80% self-attested, 70% weak signal. Self-attested items marked “vendor's site” are gathered from the vendor's own website and are not verified by us.

Unknown means this listing does not publish a repository. It is not a statement that the code is closed, and a linked repository is not a claim that the publisher wrote it: the registry computes that relationship privately and does not publish it.
