# 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](/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
* Milestones
* Members with access levels
* Boards with columns

For a complete breakdown, see [GitLab Backup Contents](/gitlab/backup-contents.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.cloudback.it/gitlab/pricing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
