- It Is quite similar to ownCloud, but it includes the ownCloud Enterprise Features like Collabora Online, Calender, Contacts etc... also in the free community version. The focus of Nextcloud is to be secure (2 factor auth). PS: Theres a better AppStore in Nextcloud and apps are more supported and get more updates. Guest • Feb 2017 • 16 agrees and 5 disagrees

- Good balance between security, usability, and features. Suitable for someone who wants a little more power and security than traditional services like Dropbox have to offer, but not the complexities of P2P and self-hosted systems like ownCloud, or the headaches of self-managed encryption.

I looked at their website. It appears to offer merely enterprise-plans [much more expensive than personal subscriptions].

Have you seen owncloud.org where you get our software for free? The enterprise subscription plans are mostly intended for medium to big infrastructures.
