Multi-year licensing
Interactive · move the seat countEvery figure below is the whole-term total — what you pay across all 36 months, not per year. The 10-seat minimum is applied, and the 3-year commitment discount of 10% is included. Competitor figures use each vendor’s published self-hosted list price at the time of writing — verify before purchasing, and note that GitLab Ultimate and add-ons cost considerably more.

Pricing questions
Click to openThe things procurement asks before a purchase order, answered without hedging.
No. It is the same codebase under AGPLv3 with unlimited users and repositories, and it includes the things people usually pay for elsewhere — pull requests, code review, fine-grained permissions and the full API. The Enterprise Edition adds supported operations at scale, enterprise authentication and a support SLA.
Every active user account that can authenticate consumes a seat. Whenever the seat count is increased, RhodeCode provides an updated licence key or an automated process for the customer to do so, so the running instance always maintains the correct licensed seat count.
Yes. Customers can download the EE for trial and evaluation purposes for up to 30 days, enforced by the EE application itself. Import your real repositories and connect your real identity provider — nothing leaves your network during the trial.
The application keeps serving your repositories. Enterprise-only features stop and you fall back to Community behaviour. Your data is never held hostage — it is on your disks, in standard repository formats.
Yes. We love to support science, education and nonprofits. In addition to free use of our open source Community Edition, we offer very attractive discounts on the Enterprise Edition to qualified nonprofits, including educational institutions.
No. The RhodeCode application does not allow us any form of remote access of any kind, nor does it communicate with us in any way. It is deployed behind the customer firewall — once downloaded, we cannot track its deployment, operating state or configuration.
Try it on your own repositories.
A full Enterprise licence for 30 days, no card and no key ceremony. Or run the Community Edition for as long as you like and upgrade when the support contract matters.
