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, $17 per server per month, pooled storage included, 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

All your clients share one pool, so the file server that doubled this year borrows headroom from the laptops that didn't. One pool across your whole base, not a per-client allowance with automatic overage billing.

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

9am to 9pm EST, phone, chat, and email, from people who ran an MSP. Support quality is the single most repeated line in our reviews.

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 you don't meter, and a bill you can predict twelve months out, that's precisely what we do.
