Looking for a free or open-source alternative to Backblaze Personal? Syncvault is the closest direct swap — MIT-licensed source on GitHub, or a $29 one-time packaged install. Since you're already auditing what you pay Backblaze Personal every month, here are four more pay-once tools from the same catalog worth a look while you're at it — different jobs, same idea: buy the software once instead of renting it forever.
1. Syncvault — replaces Backblaze Personal
Local backup agent that encrypts client-side and pushes to your own S3-compatible bucket or NAS. $29 once vs Backblaze Personal's $9/mo. Free on GitHub, or the packaged installer on Whop.

Every app above is a one-time purchase with MIT-licensed source, no accounts with us and no telemetry. None of them are trying to be the next Backblaze Personal — they're trying to be the last subscription you pay for that specific job.
