Foyer vs Egnyte Pricing
Foyer has simple pricing. You get all our features for any one of our plans. Our Standard plan has all our essential features for only $19/internal user/month. If you need a custom domain and email, you can use our Premium plan for only $39/internal user/month.
Price Information Collected March 2024
Egnyte has two plans of pricing: "Team Plans" and "Business Plans". The "Team Plans" can only support businesses that have 10 or less staff users. These "Team Plans" are cheaper, at $10 per month per user. However, if you cross the 10 user threshold, you'll need to pay double the price at $20 per user per month.
For that reason, we have used the $20 per user per month pricing from their "Business Plans" in our cost estimations.
You can save $12 per year for each user by using Foyer
