Cloud storage plans charge by capacity. Gavety charges for the software licence and for remote access, never per GB. Use drives you already own and keep your files on hardware you control.
Gavety keeps your files on hardware you own. Remote access is the only recurring service we charge for.
The licence covers the device and the software. Remote access is billed separately per user.

No. Gavety is priced by software licence and remote access, not by storage capacity. The drives are yours, so connecting a 1 TB or a 20 TB drive does not change the licence price.
The consumer licence is $100 per device, one-time. The business licence is $300 for the software. Remote access is $20 per user per year for peer-to-peer connections; when traffic goes through Gavety's relay, pricing depends on usage. A free LAN-only tier covers one user on the local network, and remote access is paid from day one.
Yes. The Gavety agent connects outward using a peer-to-peer connection or Gavety's relay, so no port forwarding or router configuration is needed. See our guide to self-hosting without port forwarding.
A Raspberry Pi 4 with at least 4 GB of RAM, or another Linux machine with at least 4 GB of RAM. See the setup guide for current requirements. See the setup guide.
Yes. Each device needs its own licence, so two devices need two $100 consumer licences. Remote access is charged per user.
Nextcloud is a full collaboration suite that runs a web server, PHP and a database, and OpenMediaVault is a NAS operating system. Neither includes remote access of its own, so behind CGNAT you need a VPN or tunnel as well. Gavety is a proprietary agent focused on file access that connects outward. It has no calendar, contacts or office editing. See the Nextcloud alternatives comparison and the OpenMediaVault alternative guide.
Gavety states that files stay on your hardware and that its servers facilitate the connection rather than storing your files. See the data protection page for the technical details. Data protection page.
