Local Workspace Backup vs Monthly SaaS Vaults
Hosted vaults are convenient. Local desktop licenses keep copies on storage you own and often cost less over three years — especially for small Workspace tenants.
| Factor | Typical SaaS vault | Local desktop license |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per user / month forever | Perpetual tiers (e.g. from $19) |
| Where data lives | Vendor cloud | Your disk / NAS |
| Offline / air-gap options | Limited | Strong |
| Admin overhead | Low | You monitor jobs & storage |
| Best fit | No storage staff | Cost-conscious SMBs |
