Insync vs MultCloud (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Insync if

• Fits if you use Linux and want a Google Drive client on the desktop
• Works for people who juggle several Google Drive or Dropbox accounts

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you use another cloud, as only Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox are supported
• Watch out: the licence is per cloud account, so Drive plus OneDrive on one email counts as two
• Watch out: support comes with Insync Care, free for year one and $19.99 a year after
• Not for you if you want to move licences between people, as they are non-transferable
• Too light for a phone, since only desktop and server installs are listed

Pick MultCloud if

• Fits if you have a one-off migration between two cloud drives
• Works for people who keep files in several cloud accounts and want one login for them

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you move a lot of data, since free is 5 GB a month and the cheapest paid tier is 100 GB
• Not for you if you want scheduled transfers or backups without paying, because those are paid features
• Pricey if you pay monthly, at $19.99 against $59.99 for a whole year
• Watch out: the discounts are shown against crossed-out prices with no end date, and support is by email only

Insync

• Support comes with Insync Care: the first year is included, and renewing it costs $19.99 per year.
• The individual license is per cloud account, so Google Drive plus OneDrive on one email counts as two.
• It supports Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox only.
• Licenses are non-transferable; the Server plan prices were not readable, so they are not listed here.

MultCloud

• Plans are priced by data traffic; the free plan stops at 5 GB a month and the cheapest paid tier at 100 GB.
• Scheduled transfer, sync and backup are paid features.
• The displayed discounts are against crossed-out prices and the page gives no end date.
• Support is by email only, according to the pricing page FAQ.
