Self-host vs Dropbox

Example values: replace every number with your own. SaaS price prefilled from Dropbox pricing, checked 2026-11-10; the other numbers are examples.

Self-hosting saves about $1,980 a year for 20 seats: SaaS $3,600 vs self-host $1,620 (server $144, backups $36, admin time $1,440). Break-even at about 9 seats at these numbers.

Admin hours start from our guess for difficulty unrated and are yours to edit. Dropbox price: $15 per user per month (Standard plan, billed annually). Standard $15/user/mo billed annually ($18 monthly); Advanced $24/user/mo billed annually ($30 monthly). Standard corroborated from third-party reads; Advanced read from the vendor page.
