Where each one falls short

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

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

Vagrant

  • Vagrant 2.4.3 and later is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1 with IBM Corporation as licensor, not an OSI open source licence
  • The Additional Use Grant forbids offering Vagrant to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis in a paid product that competes with IBM's paid versions of Vagrant
  • Each version converts to the MPL 2.0 Change License only four years after that version is first published
  • Uses that fall outside the Additional Use Grant require a separately negotiated licence from the licensor
