For most people, there’s one question that will always come up when considering a new product or service: How much does it cost? Is the price right for what you get?
Movebot costs $0.75 per gigabyte transferred.
That’s it. No user costs. No hidden fees. No "fee" fees. Simple and straightforward pricing, as it should be.
Giving you the best value for moving data
The whole premise of Movebot is to make data moving simple and straightforward. So our pricing model is simple and straightforward. We want to give you the best value by having you pay for what you use and what you need.
We like to let people know pricing upfront, because all the nifty features and shortcuts won’t mean much if the price tag makes you do a sheepish smile as you wait to say “Sounds great, I’ll call you back later after I run this up the chain” when you’ve already decided it’s too much.
A great product is important. But what people are ultimately looking for is the best value. Even Warren Buffet uses coupons to treat his other super rich friends to lunch. Why not get a better value if you have the chance, even if you have (way too much) money?
How much do other cloud migration services cost?
If you search for cloud file migration costs, it can be challenging to find an accurate price. Some companies make you jump through a lot of hoops just to tell you that the prices are custom per user and you have to go through an hour-long onboarding call only to find it’s too expensive for what you get. It’s not uncommon to have the costs end up being over $1/GB.
Others have you pay per user on top of other fees like a data cap. This can make sense if you know you’ll have frequent transfers that fit under the cap, and you have a small amount of users that won't change. If you fit under the data cap and have a small number of users it might work in your favor. Not so much if you have thousands of users and a combination of shared and public folders though, as those costs can add up quickly, or if you go past your cap--your projects could be paused, or just as bad, you get automatically updated a tier and no one tells you.
Managed migrations
Managed migration companies can do the work for you, but often at a hefty price. Many of them won’t tell you the price upfront; for some, it’s because they haven’t actually decided how much to charge you until talking with you. Just like you want the best value, some companies want the best value out of you.
Even at the best rates, migrations tend to be on the expensive side and come with limitations. Of course, you can do the migration yourself with a tool like Movebot and buy a lot of discounted cheeseburgers with your savings.
With a modern, cloud-based architecture and incredibly fast data transfer speeds, Movebot is a simple and secure way to quickly move data between platforms. It’s the best value for data migrations there is, it's as simple as that.
Movebot is a self-service migration tool that keeps things simple

Different billing options for MSPs and Enterprise customers
Our default billing option is pay as you at $0.75/GB, or through 1TB data packs. If you run out of data packs in the middle of the migration, you'll get a note after the scanning stage that you don't have enough data for the migration to continue. You can either purchase additional data packs or put in a credit card to proceed on pay as you go.
However, if your organization requires a different payment model, you can email us at sales@movebot.io and request to update to Postpaid or Prepaid billing option.
