Pricing
How Cloudback pricing works for Linear workspaces, including the tiered per-member unit model, what's included in backups, and where to subscribe.
LinearCloudback uses a per-workspace pricing model for Linear, with units calculated from the number of active workspace members. Pricing is tiered so that small teams stay inexpensive and large teams scale gradually.
How Units Work for Linear
Each Linear workspace with backups enabled consumes units based on the number of active, non-app members in the workspace. The tiers are progressive - each member is billed against the band they fall in:
| Member position in workspace | Units per member |
|---|---|
| Members 1-25 | 2 units each |
| Members 26 and above | 1 unit each |
The minimum is 2 units per workspace. App users (bots/integrations) and suspended members are excluded from the count.
Examples
| Workspace size | Units consumed | Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 active member | 2 | 1 × 2 |
| 5 active members | 10 | 5 × 2 |
| 6 active members | 12 | 6 × 2 |
| 10 active members | 20 | 10 × 2 |
| 25 active members | 50 | 25 × 2 |
| 26 active members | 51 | 25 × 2 + 1 × 1 |
| 50 active members | 75 | 25 × 2 + 25 × 1 |
| 100 active members | 125 | 25 × 2 + 75 × 1 |
| 250 active members | 275 | 25 × 2 + 225 × 1 |
If you back up multiple workspaces, units add up across all of them. Units are also shared across all connected accounts and platforms.
The unit count is recalculated automatically after each successful backup (and on reconnect) using the current member count returned by the Linear API.
No Free Plan for Linear
Linear has no free plan or free tier. The free backup slot included with every connected account covers repositories only (GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps) - it does not extend to Linear workspaces.
Every Linear workspace is billed using the member tiers above. All paid plans include a free trial, so you can evaluate Linear backups before committing.
