$59 a year. Forever.
10 users, 2 devices, 1 server. Hourly backups. App-consistent SQL VSS. 90-day retention. Email alerts on canary tamper. Boot verification monthly. No appliance, no Windows Server license.
Plus = Free + the things SMBs actually need.
App-Consistent VSS (SQL + IIS)
SQL Server backups that actually restore. The single biggest "we got burned by Macrium" upgrade.
Email alerts on canary tamper
Free detects. Plus notifies. A canary trip on Free waits in the dashboard until you log in — Plus emails you at 3am, while there's still time to act.
Hourly schedule
Daily isn't enough for a working SQL DB. Plus drops your worst-case data loss from 24 hours to 8.
90-day retention
Up to 26 GFS recovery points — daily, weekly, and monthly. "Last quarter's invoices are wrong" is recoverable.
2 devices/user, 1 server, 10 users
A normal SMB. Need a few more seats? $12/user/year add-on.
Monthly boot verification + scripts
Hyper-V boots your image monthly on your own hardware and logs it. Plus unlocks pre/post backup scripts and 10 automation rules.
Pre/post backup scripts with a full run log — stop the app, snapshot, start the app, and see every exit code.

Plus FAQ
Stripe billing? Will I get charged annually?+
Yes — annual subscription, $59 charged on first signup, then yearly on the same date. Cancel anytime, no proration.
What if I have more than 10 users?+
Add extra seats at $12/user/year, billed yearly alongside your subscription. If you're heading well past 15, look at Pro (15 users included) or BigMind Resilience.
How is "1 server" defined?+
A machine running Windows Server (any edition). Workstations don't count toward the server limit.
Do I get app-consistent VSS for Exchange too?+
Plus = SQL VSS coordination only. Exchange / AD / Hyper-V VSS coordination requires Pro.
Can I move my Free signup to Plus without reinstalling?+
Yes — single click. Same agent, same backups, more features unlocked.
