For MSPs weighing a move

Looking at an Acronis alternative?

Acronis packs a lot into one platform. It also prices that platform through three licensing models, a minimum monthly commitment, and a quote call, and billing complexity is the most repeated complaint in public MSP forums. Here's what flat pricing looks like instead.

The comparison that matters

What actually changes when you switch.

Acronis sells a broad cyber-protection suite; we deliberately don't. We do backup and restores, extremely well, at a price you can quote from memory. Here's the honest shape of the trade.

One number per device

$7 per workstation with 1 TB and $17 per server with 3 TB of pooled storage per month, published on the site. Acronis' own pricing page describes three licensing models that can't be mixed within a customer tenant. We have one, and it fits in a sentence.

Pooled storage that absorbs growth

Every workstation adds 1 TB and every server adds 3 TB to one pool across your whole client base, so the file server that doubled this year borrows headroom from laptops that didn't. Acronis' solution packages pool storage per customer tenant (300 GB per workstation) with automatic overage billing. Past our pool, it's a published $8 per TB.

No minimum commitment

Acronis uses a minimum monthly commitment model with volume tiers, its own words. With us there's no committed floor: a $45/month partner account, your first three licenses free, and you pay for what's actually deployed.

A console techs learn in a day

One screen for the whole fleet: what's protected, what's pending, what needs a human. No certification course required to check on last night's jobs.

The workloads MSPs actually run

Servers, workstations, Microsoft 365, VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, disk image, and databases. The full feature list is here.

Support that answers the phone

Phone, chat, and email, answered by people who've run an MSP. Small enough that the founder still picks up.

The honest fit check

Who should switch, and who shouldn't.

If you're deep into the wider Acronis suite (EDR, patching, DLP) and consolidating security tooling under one vendor is the strategy, a backup-only specialist won't replace all of that, and we won't claim to.

If what you actually use is the backup, and what you want is restores that work, storage priced in one line, and a bill you can predict twelve months out, that's precisely what we do.

Price out your actual fleet in five minutes.

Count your workstations and servers, multiply by $7 and $17, and compare it to your last invoice. Then start a trial and test a real restore. Code RAMPUP covers the overlap if you switch.
