How it compares
Compare backup options
Most people weigh MomentBackup against a monthly cloud-backup service or the backup built into a Mac. Here's where it lands.
| Capability | MomentBackup | Subscription cloud backup | Built-in Mac backup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | From US$49 once | Monthly or yearly, ongoing | Free |
| Where backups live | Your disk, NAS, or cloud — your keys | The provider's servers | Local disk or NAS |
| Restores if you stop paying | No license needed | Usually need an active plan | Free (Mac) |
| Platforms | Windows, macOS, Linux | Varies by provider | macOS only |
| Go back in time (file history) | Every platform | Varies | macOS |
| Whole-computer recovery | Windows | Rarely | Apple Recovery |
| See every computer's backup health | Hub — free, self-hosted | Provider web console | No |
| Immutable off-site copy | With supported S3 Object Lock | Provider-dependent | No |
| Restore confidence | Verify all; drill local or mounted backups | Varies | No built-in drill |

A subscription bills for as long as you want your backups; MomentBackup starts at US$49 once, and the storage is your own. New to this? Read MomentBackup vs built-in Mac backup.

Questions
Pricing questions
Is MomentBackup a subscription?
No. The license never expires and 1.x updates are included.
Is there a storage subscription?
MomentBackup does not sell storage. Use your own drive, NAS, or cloud storage. Your cloud provider may charge for storage.
How does the trial work?
Download and install MomentBackup without an account. Sign in inside the app to start the 7-day trial. No credit card is needed. Another computer uses the same end date. When it ends, new backups pause; restores stay available.
Which plan should I buy?
Count your computers. Just one machine: the 1-computer plan. A desktop, a laptop, and one more: the 3-computer plan.
What if I replace a computer?
Move the license to the replacement. Retired computers don't keep a place in your allowance.
Can I buy more than one package?
Yes. Each purchase has its own key and computer allowance.
Do the bigger plans include more features?
No. Every personal plan includes the full product and 1.x updates. Only the number of computers changes.
Can I license a computer that never goes online?
Yes. Type the license key in, or carry the license file over on a USB stick. Activation works without an internet connection.
Do I need a license to restore my files?
No. Install MomentBackup on a supported computer, open your backup, and restore. You need your passphrase or recovery key if the backup is encrypted.
How do I get a lost license key back?
Check the MomentBackup email sent after payment, or sign in to your account to download the key again. Contact support if you still cannot find it.
