opsen reads what GitLab bills you for: every billable member and when they were last active, the plan they are billed on, GitLab Duo seats and when each holder last used Duo, and compute minutes bought on top of the plan. It prices them and finds what nobody is using.
Connect
Settings → Connections → GitLab.
gitlab.com. Enter your top-level group (gitlab.com/your-group works) and a token with the Owner role on it. A group access token with the Owner role works on Premium and Ultimate; on Free, use an Owner's personal access token.
Self-managed. Enter your instance URL. Leave the group empty and use an administrator's personal access token to read the whole licence: seats bought, seats in use, seats owed at true-up, and every user holding a licence seat. Or name a top-level group to read only that group.

Acting on it
- Remove members (gitlab.com) takes dormant members out of the top-level group and every subgroup and project in it. Their account and contributions stay. GitLab applies the removal within a few minutes.
- Deactivate users (self-managed) frees their licence seat. Seats on self-managed are instance-wide, so removing someone from one group would not free one. A deactivated user is reactivated the next time they sign in.
- Unassign seats takes Duo seats from people who are not using Duo. Their GitLab access is unchanged. Hand the seats to someone else, or lower the Duo quantity at renewal.
The fee
opsen's fee counts merge requests merged in the group (or the instance) during the month, including archived projects.
