# 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.

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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
