Their pricing update end of last year was one of the reasons we switched over to Github. Other reasons were, that most external services had integration with Github but not with Gitlab, or that we didn't use many of the features Gitlab provided but charged for. If they would provide some lite plans with custom feature addons, we might have kept it, but all in all there was not much difference between Gitlab and Github except for the pricing then

Yup. If I could say something like "I'll pay $12/year for a public repo, but don't want a wiki, container ecosystem or bug tracker" that would be great. Heck, I would pay $36/year for that. But I'm not paying $29/month/user for all the features I'm not going to use.

SourceHut seems like it will someday be a competitor, but I'm frightened away by it's "alpha" state.

Maybe there's a market for something that's more ala-carte?

$12/year/repo? No, that is way too much. I would rather selfhost at that price point. With the number of repos I have that would be a ridiculous price. I don't use the wiki or the container registry so it is largely text file hosting at that point.

Too much... for you. I appreciate that. Sounds like we have mostly the same requirements though.
