How does GitLens pricing compare to VS Code Git Graph?

When evaluating Git tools for VS Code, developers often want to know what they get for free and what additional capabilities require a paid plan.

Both GitLens and Git Graph offer free functionality, but their pricing models differ significantly.

Git Graph is a fully free open-source extension, while GitLens follows a freemium model with a powerful free tier and additional advanced features available through GitKraken subscriptions.

Understanding the differences can help developers decide which tool aligns best with their workflow needs.
