Example Lightsafe Bill
Lightsafe billing is designed to be easy to understand: no platform licence fees, no hidden storage infrastructure charges, and a clear split between backup data, restore usage and local backup. This example shows how a typical monthly bill is structured.
Bill Structure
Platform: No licence fees for the Lightsafe management Platform
Backup: $0.01/GB/month for all backup stored
Restore: $0.02/GB for restore data downloaded
Local Backup: $0.00 per machine/month where enabled
Real-World Example
Example scenario: 25 protected servers storing a combined 80 TB of cloud backup data, with 700 GB restored during the billing period and local backup enabled on 4 machines.
- 80TB of data
- Across 25 servers
- Local Backup on fifteen machines
- Restored 726GB
Here's how that month's bill looks:
| Subscription / Service | Quantity | Unit Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Backup | 80,516 GB | $0.01/GB | $805.16 |
| Local Backup (Free) | 15 Machines | $0/Machine | $ 0.00 |
| Cloud Restore | 726 GB | $0.02/GB | $14.52 |
| TOTAL | $819.68 | ||
The result is a bill that is easy to reconcile by usage line item, without separate software licensing or third-party storage accounts to decode.

Cancellation & Grace Period
Lightsafe is billed monthly (calendar month). Your invoice closes at month-end and includes any Cloud Backup/Restore usage during that month. If you cancel, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing month. A grace period applies after cancellation, after which cloud data is removed.
