Gitpod has introduced workspace classes and flexible pricing to provide users with more computational power options and a new way of charging based on usage. Workspace classes include standard and large workspaces, allowing developers to choose the size that best fits their needs. The new flexible pricing model measures Gitpod usage in credits, with free tier users receiving up to 50 hours per month for free. Paid subscribers can access larger workspace classes and pay-as-you-go rates.
