Pricing FAQ
What does "per-run capacity" mean?
Each plan sets the maximum data a single run can cover. For a full migration that's the entire source, so on the Home Lab tier you can migrate any bucket up to 2 TB in one run. For an incremental sync (--incremental), only the data that changed since the last run counts, so a source far larger than your tier keeps syncing as long as each run's delta fits the cap. Contact us for larger initial migrations. This is not bandwidth billing or monthly usage.
Do you charge for bandwidth or transferred bytes?
No. Pricing is based only on the maximum source data included in a run. Godwit does not charge for bandwidth, egress, or transferred bytes, but your storage or cloud provider may still apply its own network or egress fees.
Can I run unlimited migrations?
Yes. Every run is independent, whether a one-time migration or an ongoing incremental sync. There is no cumulative usage or monthly cap.
Can I run multiple syncs at the same time?
Yes. Migrations or incremental syncs run concurrently within your plan's per-run capacity.
How is run size calculated?
Run size is calculated during planning, before any data moves. A full migration counts every discovered source object by its source size, even objects that already exist at the destination. An incremental run (--incremental) counts only the objects that changed or are new since the last run; unchanged objects are skipped and don't count toward capacity.
What happens if my source exceeds my plan's capacity?
During planning, Godwit Sync includes objects until the next object would exceed your plan's capacity. That object and the remaining objects are excluded from the run. You can then upgrade your plan, split into smaller runs, or narrow your incremental sync window. If you're a registered user, you can also request another 30-day unlimited license, for example when a new bucket needs a fresh full migration, or when a lost baseline (diff history) sends the next incremental run back to a full sync.
How do I migrate a bucket larger than my Home Lab plan?
Register for a free account to get a 30-day unlimited license, and use it to run the full initial migration in one pass, even if the source is well over 2 TB. After that, switch to incremental sync (--incremental): each run counts only what changed since the last, and those deltas sit far under the Home Lab 2 TB cap. So a Home Lab plan keeps a much larger bucket in sync indefinitely, as long as no single run's delta exceeds your capacity.
Can I upgrade my plan?
Yes. You can upgrade at any time to increase your per-run capacity.
What does the Home Lab lifetime license cover?
The €199 Home Lab license is a one-time purchase for the current major version. Every update within that major version is included at no extra cost, and the license keeps working indefinitely. The next major version is a separate, optional license.
How does pricing compare to per-GB tools like AWS DataSync?
Usage-based tools bill for every gigabyte transferred, so an ongoing nightly sync keeps adding up month after month. Godwit Sync charges a flat license fee based only on per-run capacity, with no per-GB charges, no egress billing, and no metered transfers. Whether you migrate once or sync every night, the price stays the same.
Do I pay per machine, per seat, or per user?
No. A Godwit Sync license is not tied to a machine, seat, or node. Pricing depends only on how long the license is valid and the per-run capacity it allows, so you can run it wherever you need to within that capacity. If you operate Godwit Sync on behalf of separate customers, each customer needs at least one license of its own.
Why pay when rclone is free?
rclone is an excellent general-purpose tool. Godwit Sync is purpose-built for migrations and ongoing syncs you need to trust: it plans the run before touching data, transfers only what changed, verifies with checksums, resumes safely after a crash, and gives you proof every run finished. The license covers that reliability, at a flat price, with a lifetime option.
What's the difference between the Free plan and the trial?
The Free plan is a permanent 50 GB per-run capacity with no expiration. The trial is a 30-day license with unlimited per-run capacity for evaluating larger migrations and syncs.
Does retrying or resuming a run consume extra capacity?
No. Retry and resume do not consume extra capacity. If the run fits your plan, you can retry or resume it without penalty.
Does incremental sync affect my plan capacity?
Yes, in your favor. The first run is a full sync and counts the whole source, but every later incremental run counts only the objects that changed or are new; unchanged objects are skipped and don't count toward capacity. So a source far larger than your tier can keep syncing as long as each run's delta fits your plan. Objects excluded by your match-rule filters, Glacier-class objects, and keys your destination can't accept never count either.
What S3-compatible providers are supported?
Godwit Sync works with any S3-compatible storage, including AWS S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi, and self-hosted object storage.
Do I need a license for --plan-only mode?
Yes. Capacity is evaluated during planning, so the same license and per-run limit apply whether you run --plan-only or execute the run.
Is my data processed through your servers?
No. Godwit Sync runs locally in your environment. Data flows directly between source and destination. Nothing passes through our infrastructure.
Does the license work offline?
Yes. The license is a signed file that is validated locally and does not require continuous internet access.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards via Stripe.
