# Pricing

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.
