Egnyte
- Storage is allocated per plan rather than per user, at 100 GB on Business and 150 GB on every tier above it
- That means Elite at $48 per user per month carries the same 150 GB as Enterprise Lite at $39
- The Business plan caps the account at 100 power users, so growth past that forces a jump to $39 per user
- Every published price requires annual payment
- The Ultimate tier is quoted rather than listed
