Ive never used githubs CI/CD, but gitlab has quite a large ecosystem for its CI/CD.
Seems to me like you could use gitlab as a one-stop-shop to host everything from your code to your artifacts and containers, if you are willing to pay for those fancy features
Free is able to just do basic CI/CD for like 250 minutes a month, or unlimited via your own runners/build servers, thats about it
GitHub’s actions are so good once it clicks and you understand them. On GitLab, you start from a docker image, so it’s harder to setup some things but easier for others. If you are very good at docker and don’t mind making your own images just for CI purposes, then go ahead.
Ideally, you should just try them both. You can mirror a project between the two and setup the CI at both places.
I dont post my code to github because I would rather use gitlab
We are not the same

I want to start moving stuff into Gitlab, but Github Actions is just too good. Is the CI/CD stuff in Gitlab comparable?

You can also use GitHub as a mirror to make your project more discoverable
