How it compares
One-time, yours, and on your computers
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 | Always work | 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. Buy it once and it's yours — the license never expires and 1.x updates are included.
Is there a storage subscription?
Also no. We never host your data — you bring your own drive, NAS, or bucket.
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. Another computer uses the same end date. When it ends, new backups pause; restores keep working.
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 — combine them however you like.
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. The key is self-contained — type it in, or carry the license file over on a USB stick. Air-gapped machines never need to connect.
Do I need a license to restore my files?
Never. A license unlocks new backups — it is never a gate on recovery. Install MomentBackup anywhere, point it at your backup, and restore.
I lost my license key — how do I get it back?
Check the MomentBackup fulfillment email from checkout, or sign in to your account to re-download it. Neither works? Contact support — the key itself is your license.
