Is there a maximum file size limit on GitLab?

My goal was to use a GitHub repo as a private server for updating an app I made (don't want to publish on a market, I want it remains private).

However, the problem started because I had a large file that was above the GitHub file size limit, so I found GitLFS which could handle a file of up to 1GB and it worked (I could easily upload and download the file).

After that, the issue was the limited bandwidth/storage per month which is 1GB (if I download a 500MB file from GitLFS on two different devices I end the bandwidth), so I decided not to use GitLFS and now I'm asking if there are any alternative solutions, especially GitLab.

I want to know if GitLab can be good for this because I didn't find any file size limit. I also saw a little about git-annex and Rclone and I am wondering if I can combine one of these two with GitLab.

GitLab Free:

5GB storage

10GB transfer per month

Storage limits are applied at the top-level namespace. All storage consumed by projects within a namespace is counted, including the git repositories, LFS, package registries, and artifacts.

And then:

Purchase additional storage units at $60/year for 10GB of storage.

I could not find a single-file limit.

Hosted storage costs money. Free tiers are just to lure you into their ecosystem. Host your own LFS server if you think that's cheaper.
