Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| Enterprise | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
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.

People bring Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes in for a platform team that must prove to auditors it can restore a production namespace, not just its disks, migrating a stateful application from on-premises openshift to a managed cloud kubernetes service, protecting kubernetes workloads to an immutable object store so ransomware cannot delete the backups, a team using operators and custom resources that volume-snapshot tools silently fail to capture. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes
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: 2 tiers between Free and On request, 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.
Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes runs on kubernetes, linux, and is published by Veeam Software of Kirkland, Washington, United States. The full record is on the Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes review, and the rest of the category is under best backup tools.
