What per-GB metering costs a team
Per-GB transfer services are simple to start with and expensive to keep using. At a typical published rate of US$0.25 per GB, a single 1 TB delivery costs about US$250, and a team moving 10 TB a month pays roughly US$30,000 a year before storage, which is itself metered per GB per month after a few free days. Re-downloads count against your credit too, so a client who fetches a package twice costs you twice.
The pricing model punishes the customers who move the most, which is everyone with a deadline and a lot of data.
What per-seat suites cost a team
Enterprise transfer suites are usually sold per seat, often in USD or EUR, with per-transfer size caps on lower tiers and upload portals and watch folders reserved for higher ones. They punish teams: every producer, coordinator and vendor contact who needs to send becomes a licence. Consumer file-sharing tools sit at the other end, cheap per seat but with browser-only TCP uploads that stall over distance and no proof of delivery.
How Boita is priced
Boita charges for the storage and speed you keep, and nothing for the bytes you move. Four plans are sized by storage (10 GB to 10 TB, custom above), share retention (3 to 30 days), seats (1 to 15) and how many parallel sessions a single transfer may use. There are no per-GB transfer fees, no download or re-download charges, and no per-transfer size caps; if storage overage ever applies it is shown before it happens, never after.
Plans are billed in INR in India with GST invoices, and in USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SGD or AUD elsewhere. Free is 10 GB; Pro is ₹499 a month with 1 TB and Scale ₹7,999 a month with 10 TB, shown in your own currency outside India.
Speed is part of the comparison
Per-GB services move data over TCP or HTTP through an edge network; consumer tools use a plain browser upload. Boita moves data with an accelerated transfer engine over UDP with its own rate control, at your line rate regardless of distance, in parallel sessions, with resume in the desktop app and a checksum on every file. Upload portals and the desktop app with watch folders are included from the Pro plan rather than reserved for enterprise tiers.
