Subscription
Free and paid cubic plans.
cubic offers both a free plan and paid subscriptions to fit every team’s needs.
How cubic works
Everyone starts with a 14-day free trial:
- Unlimited AI reviews during the trial period
- Full platform access to all features
- No credit card required to get started
When your trial ends, you choose:
- Continue free: Get 10 AI reviews per month with full platform access
- Upgrade to paid: Get unlimited AI reviews with the same full platform access
Important: Regardless of which plan you choose, you always get complete access to cubic’s platform—PR management, analytics, notifications, and all features. Only the number of AI reviews per month differs between free and paid plans.
Free plan

- Unlimited platform access: View and manage all your pull requests in cubic

How the free plan quota works
- Organization-wide limit: The 10 AI reviews per month are shared across all repositories in your GitHub organization
- Automatic tracking: AI review comments show how many reviews you have remaining
- Monthly reset: Your quota automatically resets to 10 on the 1st of each month
Paid subscriptions
For unlimited AI reviews, cubic’s subscription cost is determined by the number of developer seats you choose to activate. Each active seat corresponds to a unique GitHub user within your organization.
- Seat-based billing: You are billed based on the number of active seats you assign to your team members (GitHub users).
- Flexible seat management: You can manage seat assignments at any time, both during your free trial and after it ends.
- Customizable checkout: When you purchase a subscription, you select the exact number of seats you need.
- Subscription management: Seat assignments and active seats can be viewed and managed through the subscription tab in your settings: https://www.cubic.dev/settings?tab=subscription
Automatic seat management
Admins can enable automatic seat management to handle team changes automatically.
When enabled in your subscription settings, cubic will automatically assign and remove seats as your team changes.
How it works:
- When a new developer joins your GitHub organisation, they’ll automatically get a cubic seat. You’ll see this reflected in your billing.
- If a developer leaves your organisation, their seat is removed and you’ll stop being billed for them.
Manual and automatic work together:
You can still manually assign seats if you want. For example:
- If you’ve already given seats to 3 out of 10 developers, and then turn on automatic assignment, the next (11th) developer who joins will automatically get a seat—bringing your total to 4.
- This gives you flexibility to mix and match manual and automatic seat assignment, based on what works best for your team.
Bot seat management
Devin-bot support
cubic recognizes and provides special handling for automated coding assistants like Devin. When Devin opens a pull request in your repository:
- Automatic detection: PRs authored by
devin-ai-integration[bot]are automatically identified. - Dedicated bot seat: Devin is assigned a special bot seat that’s kept separate from regular developer seats.
- Cost-effective billing: Bot seats are managed distinctly to ensure fair and transparent pricing for automated contributors.
- No manual configuration needed: The system automatically creates and manages the Devin bot seat when it first contributes to your repository.
This feature ensures that teams using AI coding assistants can integrate them into their workflow without worrying about seat management or unexpected billing.
Free trial
During the free trial period, you can assign as many developer seats as you like to evaluate cubic with your team. Billing will only begin after the trial ends and is based on the number of seats you select at checkout.
If you have any further questions about billing, please contact support.

How do team roles work?
cubic has two roles: Admin and Member.
Admins can manage seats, change user roles, and configure auto-assign settings. Members have full access to all cubic features but cannot manage team settings.
The first user who creates an installation becomes an admin automatically. You need at least one admin per team, and admins cannot remove their own admin role. Bot accounts are always members and cannot be promoted to admin.
See the Roles and permissions page for complete details.
