Authy

  • Free consumer app with no paid tier, so there is no vendor-stated enterprise SLA or support plan on the pricing side
  • Vendor markets multi-device sync as a core feature, meaning account security depends on cloud-backed codes rather than device-only storage

Varonis Data Security Platform

  • Pricing for all named Varonis products (DSPM, DLP, MDDR, Varonis Concierge, Athena AI among others) is gated behind a demo or free risk assessment request, with no figures published
