# Pricing

How Cloudback pricing works for GitLab projects, including unit costs, what's included in backups, and where to subscribe.

Cloudback uses a **per-project pricing model** for GitLab. You pay based on the number of projects you protect, not the number of users in your group.

## How Units Work for GitLab

Each GitLab project with backups enabled consumes **1 unit** from your subscription pool.

| What You Protect | Units Consumed |
|------------------|----------------|
| 1 GitLab project | 1 unit |
| 10 GitLab projects | 10 units |
| 100 GitLab projects | 100 units |

Units are shared across all connected accounts and platforms.

For full plan details, pricing tables, and billing cycle options, see [Pricing](/docs/account-and-billing-management/pricing.md).

## What's Included

Every GitLab backup includes the full repository plus metadata:

* Git repository (bare clone with all branches, tags, and refs)
* Git LFS objects
* Project settings
* Issues and issue notes/comments
* Issue links (relates/blocks/is_blocked_by)
* Merge requests and merge request notes
* Labels
