HYCU pricing
HYCU publishes a single tier. Below is what it costs, what it covers, and how that compares with the backup tools listed alongside it.
As of 1 September 2026, HYCU pricing is on request. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

HYCU plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| HYCU R-Cloud | On request | 5 | Entry tier |
What the product covers
The full HYCU 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.
Other
- R-Cloud platform
- SaaS application backup
- Nutanix and VMware backup
- Cloud infrastructure backup
- R-Graph
- Development kit
- Immutable backup targets
People bring HYCU in for an organisation that has just realised its okta, jira and github data is not covered by any backup product it owns, a nutanix environment needing agentless backup that understands the platform rather than treating it as generic virtual machines, a mid-market it team wanting one vendor across on premises virtual machines, cloud workloads and saas applications, building an immutable off-site copy with object lock to satisfy a cyber insurance requirement. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to HYCU 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HYCU (this page) | On request | quote | - | |
| Velero | Free | Open source, no licence fee | - | vs HYCU |
| Clumio | $0.01/month | Per GiB-month protected | - | vs HYCU |
| Portworx Backup | Free, then $0.2/node hour | Per node hour | - | vs HYCU |
| Trilio | Free | Per node per year | - | vs HYCU |
| AvePoint Cloud Backup | On request | quote | - | vs HYCU |
| Redstor | On request | quote | - | vs HYCU |
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 HYCU badges page.
Before you pay for HYCU
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: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare HYCU against the tools that do have one before committing.
HYCU runs on web, linux, windows, and is published by HYCU of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The full record is on the HYCU review, and the rest of the category is under best backup tools.
HYCU pricing questions
- How much does HYCU cost?
- HYCU publishes a single tier, HYCU R-Cloud, at On request.
- Does HYCU have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: HYCU is listed as quote. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- Which backup tools can I use without paying?
- 4 of the 8 backup tools listed alongside HYCU have a free tier: Velero, Portworx Backup, Trilio, Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes.
- What am I actually paying for with HYCU?
- The record lists 7 features across 1 area: other. In practice it is brought in for an organisation that has just realised its okta, jira and github data is not covered by any backup product it owns, a nutanix environment needing agentless backup that understands the platform rather than treating it as generic virtual machines, a mid-market it team wanting one vendor across on premises virtual machines, cloud workloads and saas applications.
- Does HYCU charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 1 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 HYCU 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 HYCU against before paying?
- The closest backup tools in this directory are Velero, Clumio, Portworx Backup, Trilio. Each has a side-by-side comparison with HYCU covering price, platforms and features.
