Eversync Virtual Backup Software comes in simple and affordable packages with subscription-based pricing to allow customers the flexibility of paying for only what they use with no heavy up-front licensing fees.

Eversync Virtual Backup Software is priced based on the capacity of storage needed to hold backups. In addition, Eversync requires only half the storage as Veeam does for the same backups because of Eversync’s efficient deduplication. Gartner predicts that capacity-based pricing will result in lower costs for over 80% of customers, while providing customers with a more palatable structure than paying additional fees every time they add a server to be backed up.

In head to head pricing comparisons, Eversync is at or below Veeam pricing for typical configurations, while providing a rich enterprise-class feature set, as shown in the table below.
