About
SnapShooter is a backup service for servers, databases, files, and applications. It supports scheduled snapshots for DigitalOcean Droplets and Volumes, database backups for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and AWS RDS, file backups from Linux systems, and application backups for platforms such as WordPress, Laravel, Craft CMS, Ghost, Cloudways, and Kubernetes.
The free offering includes 1 backup job with daily backups, daily retention, bring-your-own storage, and 500 MB of included SnapShooter storage. The pricing page also lists 5 GB of included serverless data transfer on the free plan, with overage not allowed, so the free tier is limited and perpetual rather than a trial.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped but genuinely usable starter offer: it includes one backup job with daily backups, daily retention, 500 MB of SnapShooter storage, unlimited bring-your-own storage, and one user account. The cheapest paid plan is Lite at $14/month, and the free tier is essentially a single-resource version of that plan, so its practical value is about $14/month. No credit card is required, and the offer is free forever, but the tight resource limits keep it well below the paid plans in overall parity.

- 1 backup job with daily backups and daily retention.
- 500 MB included SnapShooter storage.
