Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CloudCasa

  • At $69 per node per month, a fifty-node estate costs over forty thousand dollars a year at list, which is more than many teams expect from a product marketed on its free tier.
  • The control plane is SaaS, so cluster metadata and backup catalogues sit with the vendor, which rules it out where policy prohibits external services holding infrastructure detail.
  • Per-node pricing punishes clusters built from many small nodes, so the licensing metric can push architecture decisions in directions the platform team would not otherwise choose.
  • The free tier stops at five nodes with no intermediate step, so growth from five to six nodes moves you from nothing to a full commercial rate.
  • Catalogic is a much smaller vendor than Veeam or Commvault, which matters for procurement risk assessments and for long-term support commitments on a system you may depend on for years.

Comet Backup

  • Per-endpoint costs ($2/month per endpoint) can add up for large deployments with many protected machines
  • Advanced and Enterprise tiers with additional management capabilities are significantly more expensive than base tiers
  • Platform-specific features (SQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Microsoft 365) have separate per-unit pricing

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

CloudCasa: What does it cost?

Free for up to five nodes. CloudCasa Pro is $69 per node per month. Enterprise arrangements are negotiated.

Comet Backup: How much does Comet Backup cost?

Self-hosted plans start at $19/month (Starter) and go up to $99/month (Advanced), with cloud-hosted plans starting at $49/month (Professional). All plans charge $2 per endpoint per month for additional protected machines beyond the base license count.

Source
CloudCasa: Where does the backup data go?

Typically to your own S3-compatible bucket. The vendor hosts the control plane and catalogue, not necessarily your data.

Comet Backup: What is the price difference between self-hosted and cloud-hosted deployments?

Cloud-hosted plans start at $49/month (Professional) versus self-hosted which starts at $19/month (Starter). The main advantage of cloud-hosted is Comet manages the console infrastructure, though both models charge the same per-endpoint fees.

Source
CloudCasa: Does it work with Velero?

Yes. It can manage existing Velero installations, which makes it a lower-friction upgrade than a rip and replace.

Comet Backup: Does Comet Backup charge for additional protected machines?

Yes, all plans charge $2 per endpoint per month beyond the licensed endpoints. For example, the Growth plan includes 2 self-hosted licenses, but each additional protected machine costs $2/month.
