Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Sync.com (individual plans) at $4/mo, against Backblaze at $9/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: Backblaze tops out at $9/mo, Sync.com (individual plans) at $32/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Recently moved: Backblaze (2026-08-28). A change only counts once a second clean read agrees.
- Sync.com (individual plans): We read the same $4/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
How to choose in this category
- Per-terabyte cost falls as tiers rise — the entry tier is rarely the value point.
- Lifetime pay-once plans exist in this category; divide by your honest years of use before comparing them to subscriptions.
- Business and personal ladders differ — make sure the page you read matches the plan you would buy.
