GitLab repositions Duo Agent Platform for offline license deployments
What happened
Between the May 4, 2026 and May 11, 2026 captures of GitLab's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: GitLab Duo Agent Platform add-on description updated: availability language changed from 'with self-hosted models' to 'for an offline license', repositioning the offline deployment use case. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 16, 2026) lists Premium at $29, Enterprise Agile Planning at $15, Compute Minutes at $10 per 1,000 minutes, Storage at $5 and GitLab Duo Agent Platform at $1 per GitLab Credit.
It lands 32 days after GitLab's previous change, "GitLab streamlines add-ons pricing with unified section layout" (Apr 9, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "GitLab replaces Duo add-ons with credit-based AI Agent Platform" (Apr 3, 2026), "GitLab removes Duo Pro and Duo Enterprise add-ons from pricing page" (Mar 26, 2026) and "GitLab adds Claude Code and Codex to Duo Agent Platform" (Mar 3, 2026). GitLab has been tracked since 2025-10-05.
In the same window GitHub and Gitpod also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
