Does this support self-managed GitLab?

The integration connects to GitLab via OAuth. GitLab.com (SaaS) is supported now; self-managed instance support depends on your instance being reachable for OAuth — check Settings → Integrations for the current state before relying on it.

Is GitLab on the free plan?

No. The GitLab integration is available on the Pro plan and above.

How are issues matched to merge requests?

By the issue identifier found in the branch name, MR title, or MR description.

Does pipeline status appear on the issue?

Yes — the linked MR shows its latest pipeline status on the issue so reviewers know whether CI is green.
