Basic = Free, with room for a small team.

3 users, 1 device each

Cover a small team — you, a partner, an assistant — every machine imaged. A fixed 3 seats (no add-on).

12-hour schedule

Two backups a day instead of one. Worst-case data loss drops from 24 hours to 12.

30-day retention

18 recovery points — 14 daily + 4 weekly — so you can roll back a month, not just a week.

10 backup policies

Different rules for different machines and volumes — 10 policies instead of 2.

5 automation rules

Automate retention, alerts and scheduled reports — 5 rules instead of 1.

Email support

Reach a human by email, not just the community forum.

Two or three machines, no server.

2–3 person studio

A design or dev shop of three, each on a laptop. Basic images all three at $39.99/year — a fraction of a single Plus seat elsewhere.

Family / household

Your PC plus two more at home. Three machines, block-level backup and ransomware canary, one flat price.

Freelancer + contractor

You and a part-time collaborator. Two seats now, room for a third — with 30-day history instead of a week.

Small practice, no server

Reception, owner, and one more workstation. Desktops only, twice-daily backups, a month of recovery points.

When one seat isn't enough.
