Nextcloud 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.

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.

Before you pay for Nextcloud
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: 4 tiers between Free and €204.75/year, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Nextcloud runs on self-hosted, web, windows, macos, linux, ios, android, api. The full record is on the Nextcloud review.
Nextcloud pricing questions

- Standard Enterprise costs €71.29/year against Free, and adds 2 business day response time, 1-year maintenance included, email support during business hours, 100+ users minimum.
- Is the Ultimate Enterprise plan on Nextcloud worth it?

It costs €204.75/year against €71.29/year for Standard Enterprise. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Nextcloud?
- The record we hold does not itemise what each tier includes beyond the plan names and prices. The Nextcloud review carries whatever feature detail is available.
- Does Nextcloud charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 4 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 Nextcloud 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 Nextcloud against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Nextcloud to make a useful price comparison.
