Clumio plans, side by side

What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
S3 SecureVault Archive
$0.01/monthThe entry tier. It covers $0.010 per gib-month plus $1.50 per million managed objects per month, restores begin after 24 to 48 hours, $0.040 per gib restored plus data transfer out, early deletion fee if retained under six months.

What the product covers
The full Clumio feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- Air-gapped backups
- Fifteen-minute recovery points
- S3 SecureVault
- Backtrack
- Terraform provider
- Compliance attestations
People bring Clumio in for an aws-native company needing backups outside its own account so a compromised root credential cannot delete them, a team that has to model recovery cost before an incident rather than discover it during one, an organisation protecting billions of s3 objects where per-object charges dominate per-gigabyte charges, a regulated business needing soc 2, hipaa and pci-dss attested backup without running backup servers. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Clumio are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Backup
Too few backup tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clumio (this page) | $0.01/month | Per GiB-month protected | - | |
| Velero | Free | Open source, no licence fee | - | vs Clumio |
| Portworx Backup | Free, then $0.2/node hour | Per node hour | - | vs Clumio |
| Trilio | Free | Per node per year | - | vs Clumio |
| AvePoint Cloud Backup | On request | quote | - | vs Clumio |
| HYCU | On request | quote | - | vs Clumio |
| Redstor | On request | quote | - | vs Clumio |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Clumio badges page.
Before you pay for Clumio
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $0.01/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Clumio against the tools that do have one before committing.
Clumio runs on web, api, and is published by Commvault of Tinton Falls, New Jersey, United States. The full record is on the Clumio review, and the rest of the category is under best backup tools.

- What am I actually paying for with Clumio?
- The record lists 6 features across 1 area: other. In practice it is brought in for an aws-native company needing backups outside its own account so a compromised root credential cannot delete them, a team that has to model recovery cost before an incident rather than discover it during one, an organisation protecting billions of s3 objects where per-object charges dominate per-gigabyte charges.
- Does Clumio charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Clumio prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Clumio against before paying?
- The closest backup tools in this directory are Velero, Portworx Backup, Trilio, AvePoint Cloud Backup. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Clumio covering price, platforms and features.
