Tresorit

  • Business plan requires a minimum of 3 users and Business Pro requires a minimum of 5 users
  • The Professional plan is single-user only, so a solo account cannot invite teammates without upgrading to a multi-seat tier
  • None of the four tiers publish an exact price on the pricing page itself; all show per-month placeholders with the figure omitted and require going through checkout to see a number
