## Frequently asked questions

### How do credits work?

Credits are the usage and billing mechanism for LinearB automations and AI actions. Credits are only consumed when an automation task – like an AI code review or workflow automation – is performed on a pull request. Usage is billed based on the number of pull requests automated, not the number of individual automations; one automated pull request consumes 100 credits regardless of the number or type of automation(s) applied. Credits are allocated on a monthly basis. Each account includes a bundled credit allocation based on the number of licensed users. If usage exceeds the bundled allocation additional credits are available for purchase. Credits reset on the first of each month and the billing dashboard in the product provides a real time view of your credit balance and consumption. For additional information on how credits work, see our [How Credits Work FAQ](https://linearb.io/how-credits-work).

### Will my data be private and secure?

Yes! LinearB is proud to be externally verified as compliant to the following standards and can provide supporting evidence and information about the controls we have in place to meet these standards: ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR For more details about our security practices please visit the [LinearB Security Page](https://linearb.io/security) and review the Security FAQ.

### How does the free trial work?

It’s a 45-day free trial, with no commitment or payment method required, of the full LinearB platform including all AI actions, automation, and MCP server capabilities. If you are ready to begin a trial, [reach out to us here](https://linearb.io/start-free-trial).

### What is a contributor?

A contributor in LinearB is a software developer who is included in a team for which LinearB is building metrics. Note that most LinearB pricing, and the bundled credit allocation, is based on the number of contributors (software developers added to LinearB teams). You can have an unlimited number of users with access to LinearB with no additional cost.

### How do I purchase additional seats?

You can increase your user seats at any time. New seats are resolved on a quarterly basis. If you would like to expand your contributor seats by a significant amount, please contact your customer success representative to learn about large deployment discounts.

### How do I purchase additional credits?

The billing dashboard in the product provides a real time view of your credit balance and consumption. You also will receive customizable usage notifications and alerts if you are approaching credit limits. If you need additional credits above the allocation bundled with each seat, click the button on the billing dashboard, or contact your support representative, to request more. Credits are sold in packs and become part of your monthly allocation for the remainder of your contract year.

### Do credits reset every month?

Yes, credits are allocated on a monthly basis and ‘reload’ on the first of each month. Your monthly allocation includes the credits bundled with each seat plus any additional credits you have purchased.

### What happens if I exceed my monthly credit allocation?

LinearB customers may exceed their monthly allocation at no additional charge in any two months of a year (not necessarily consecutive months). There is a limit of 120% of your standard allocation in order to prevent inadvertent ‘runaway use’ or abuse. This provides a buffer for unexpected usage in a given month, and allows customers to use the first two months of deployment to ramp usage and determine if/when additional credits may be required.

### Are there discounts for additional seats?

Yes! We provide volume discounts for both our Business and Enterprise customers. Please [reach out to us here](https://linearb.io/contact-us) to learn more.

### Can I upgrade my account at any time?

Yes! Planned account upgrades typically benefit from premium onboarding services and pricing discounts.

### What is a custom plan?

We offer custom plans on a case-by-case basis, typically for larger platform deployments. If you are interested in learning more about our custom plans or how LinearB will fit into your engineering organization, please .

### Do you offer monthly billing?

No. At this time, all LinearB subscriptions are billed annually.

### Do you offer implementation services?

Yes. We offer a variety of onboarding and implementation services. While enterprise customers enjoy our premium onboarding services and success planning, we also offer implementation services on an ad hoc basis. Please reach out to your customer success or sales representative to learn more.

### Which payment methods are accepted?

We are pleased to accept payment in the form of wire transfer, ACH, credit card, or through the AWS Marketplace.

### What workflow automations are not supported on Azure DevOps and Bitbucket on-prem?

While [AI Iteration Summaries](https://linearb.helpdocs.io/article/rjc7j6pduc-iterations-team-ai#ai%5Fiteration%5Fsummary) are supported, [workflow automations via gitStream](https://docs.gitstream.cm) are not supported on Azure DevOps and Bitbucket on-prem.
