Gitea/Forgejo is easier to get running
UI is less bloated/faster
GitLab redesigned their UI and imo it's shit now
No features locked behind a "Pro" Version (Pull or Bidirectional mirrors are for example unavailable on GitLab self-hosted unless you shell out for premium)
Gitea Actions is a lot more intuitive than GitLab CI, this is likely personal preference but it's still an important factor

I have no experience with forgejo but I agree with all of the above in terms of gitea v gitlab

Forgejo has different development priorities but feature wise they should be identical since the Forgejo devs also push their code upstream into Gitea

Not anymore, since as of October Gitea requires a copyright assignment for contributions. More info here.

huh, would you look at that. Pretty stupid move and something that makes this entire thing even more suspect. Glad I picked Forgejo over Gitea

I didn't have a horse in the race when I was looking to self-host git, but I quickly backed Forgejo when the news came out re: Gitea
