Backlog offers a free plan plus four paid tiers starting at $35/month. Every plan uses flat team pricing with no per-user fees, and annual billing saves 17%.
Backlog by Nulab Inc costs between $0 and $175 per month with 5 plans: Free at $0, Starter at $35/month, Standard at $100/month, Premium at $175/month, and Enterprise at custom pricing.
Every plan is a flat team rate, so there are no per-user fees as your team grows.

A quick note on AI credits: Premium and Enterprise include 2,000 complimentary AI credits. Teams that need more can add packages — Light at $60/month (2,000 credits), Basic at $130/month (5,000 credits), or Advanced at $210/month (9,000 credits).
Backlog's free plan is genuinely free — you can start a project today without a trial clock or a credit card. Annual billing saves 17% compared to paying monthly, which adds up over a year. Before you commit, check that a tier's project and storage limits match your workload, since those vary quite a bit between plans.
