A hosted private workspace or your own Nextcloud
Nextcloud is a strong choice if you want to own the stack and give up some weekends. Pace is for owners who want a private workspace, one login and one bill without becoming the sysadmin of chat, passwords, signing and files.
Side by side
| Question | Pace | Nextcloud, self-run |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs it | Pace hosts it | You, or your IT provider |
| Apps | Messages, Vault, Sign and Files, with more on higher plans | A files platform plus apps you wire together |
| Price shape | One price for your whole team ($149, $299 or $499 a month with five people included, then $10 per extra person) | Servers, your time and optional support |
| Best when | You want isolation without running servers | You want the most control |
Who should look elsewhere
- You enjoy running Nextcloud, document editing, video calls and single sign-on yourself.
- You need everything on your own premises, with no hosted control plane.
- You need Nextcloud’s exact app ecosystem and nothing else.

Questions
Is Pace a hosted Nextcloud?
No. Pace is its own product with its own apps. Sovereign is dedicated hardware for Pace, not a Nextcloud appliance.
Can I export my data and leave?
Export follows what our docs and contract say. Do not assume a one-click migration to or from Nextcloud.
Why not pay a Nextcloud host?
You can. Pace is opinionated: chat, passwords, signing and files for operations, at a flat company price.
