The short version
- Only Tresorit has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Nasuni subscription is based on managed capacity, so cold data that would cost almost nothing in an archive tier keeps paying the full platform rate, and there is limited incentive structure to delete.; Tresorit actual prices are hidden and users must initiate a free trial to see costs

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Nasuni
- Subscription is based on managed capacity, so cold data that would cost almost nothing in an archive tier keeps paying the full platform rate, and there is limited incentive structure to delete.
- Every site needs an appliance, virtual or physical, which is a footprint and a patching obligation at locations that previously had only a file server or nothing.
- A read that misses the local cache is fetched from object storage, so the first access to a cold large file is at cloud latency and users experience it as the system being slow at random.
- Global file lock serialises access across regions, so genuinely collaborative editing of the same large files still involves waiting for another site to release the lock rather than merging.
- The object storage underneath is your contract, so API transaction and egress charges from Azure or AWS land on your cloud bill and are not covered by the Nasuni subscription you were quoted against.
Tresorit
- Actual prices are hidden and users must initiate a free trial to see costs
- No transparent per-user pricing visible on the pricing page
- Storage scaling from 6TB is unclear; variable costs based on team size not specified
- Enterprise pricing requires contacting sales for any custom deployment details

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Nasuni: Do I still need a backup product?
That is the pitch: continuous versioning in object storage replaces the backup schedule for file data. Databases and virtual machines still need their own tooling.
Tresorit: How much does Tresorit for Business cost?
Tresorit does not publish pricing on their business pricing page. Instead, pricing is revealed only after you start a 14-day free trial (payment information required upfront). The plans offered are Professional (1 user), Business (3+ users), Business Pro (5+ users), and Enterprise (custom). Contact their sales team or start a trial to see specific prices.
SourceNasuni: Who owns the storage account?
You do. Nasuni writes into object storage you contract for, which also means the cloud provider bills you directly for it.
Tresorit: Does Tresorit offer a free trial?
Yes, Tresorit offers a 14-day free trial with full feature access for any plan. Payment information is required upfront to start the trial.
SourceNasuni: How fast is recovery of a whole site?
An appliance can be serving files within hours because data is pulled on demand, but performance stays degraded while the cache refills.
Nasuni: Is pricing published?
No. Nasuni sells through quotes based on managed capacity and site count, so comparisons need a real proposal rather than a list price.
