# Pricing

How Cloudback pricing works for Linear workspaces, including the tiered per-member unit model, what's included in backups, and where to subscribe.

Cloudback 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.
