Lightsafe pricing is designed for MSPs that want predictable backup costs as protected data grows. Instead of charging per device, per server or per processor, Lightsafe charges only for stored backup data and restored data.
That matters because many backup platforms such as Veeam, Acronis, MSP360 and Comet add software licensing on top of infrastructure and storage costs, making long-term pricing harder to estimate and harder to explain to clients.
The scenarios below show how Lightsafe’s usage-based model can compare over time in larger backup environments.
| Scenario | Lightsafe Cost | Competitor's Cost* |
|---|---|---|
| Scenario 1: 1TB Protected on 1 Machine for 5 Years |
$600 total [=$10/month] |
$1,879 [x3.1 cost] |
|
Scenario 2: |
$12,000 total [=$200/month] |
$37,580 [x3.1 cost] |
| Scenario 3: 56TB Protected across 35 Machines for 5 Years |
$33,600 total [=$560/month] |
$70,049 [x2.1 cost] |
| * Calculated including per-server licensing charges + storage fees; assuming a generous 2:1 compression ratio | ||
Illustrative competitor comparisons should always be checked against the current licence model, storage destination and compression assumptions of the product being evaluated.
The key commercial difference is simple: Lightsafe does not add platform licence fees on top of backup storage. For MSPs managing larger estates, that can make pricing easier to forecast, easier to explain and easier to protect commercially.
