How we grade them
| 2.0GPAPeergosFair | 2.4GPATresoritFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BGBP 3 a month for 200 GB billed yearly, inside the cheapest quarter once converted. 1,000 GB is GBP 8 and 3,000 GB GBP 20. | DThe $4.75 entry plan is ordinary money for this category, middle $5, but it buys 50 GB and 2 devices, where $1.99 buys 100 GB elsewhere. Real room starts at $11.99 for 1 TB, past the $9.99 where the dearest tenth begins, and Business is $19 a user with 3 users minimum. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free hosted plan and no trial. The only free route is running your own server. | CBasic is free and encrypted like the paid plans, but it's 3 GB, no file over 500 MB and sync across 2 devices only. The 14-day trial of a paid plan asks for payment details before it starts. |
| Features | CEncrypted storage, sharing and sync with file names hidden from the server. The macOS drive cannot mount yet and WebDAV has not landed. | CThe storage basics with end-to-end encryption, plus Tresorit Drive, encrypted links and Gmail and Outlook plug-ins. The listing's own rationing is the catch: 2 GB file size and 5 versions on Personal Lite, 2 devices, and file requests, access logs and data residency only on the dearer plans. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and encrypted accounts and keys take some learning. | BNo store rating on record, but nothing to set up: Tresorit Drive puts the files in Explorer or Finder without filling the disk, and the Gmail and Outlook plug-ins encrypt attachments where you already write email. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. There is no iOS app. | AWeb, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, the full set, and it joins up with Gmail and Outlook for attachments, and Azure AD, Okta and Active Directory for business sign-in. |
| Best for | end-to-end encrypted storage run by a non-profit | confidential files a business can't let leak |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
