# Pricing

Cloudback uses a **per-repository pricing model** for GitHub. You pay based on the number of repositories you protect, not the number of users or seats in your organization.

## How Units Work for GitHub

Each GitHub repository with backups enabled consumes **1 unit** from your subscription pool.

| What You Protect        | Units Consumed |
| ----------------------- | -------------- |
| 1 GitHub repository     | 1 unit         |
| 10 GitHub repositories  | 10 units       |
| 100 GitHub repositories | 100 units      |

Units are shared across all connected accounts and platforms.
