An open-source Tresorit alternative
Both are genuinely zero-knowledge encrypted clouds with EU operations. The real differences are open source, developer tooling, and how far storage scales — not whether the encryption is real.

What you actually get by switching
Open source you can verify
Beebeeb’s clients and encryption core are public — read them, compile them, confirm the claims. Tresorit is closed source; you are asked to trust their word and their compliance certificates.
A real free trial, no device cap
Beebeeb gives you a 14-day free trial on Starter, Basic and Pro with the same zero-knowledge encryption as a paid subscription, on any number of devices. Tresorit has a free Basic plan, but it caps you at 3 GB and two devices.
CLI and WebDAV for power users
Beebeeb ships a command-line tool and a WebDAV mount for scripted backups and automation. Tresorit has neither officially.
Scales to 99 TB
Tresorit’s top personal plan is 4 TB. Beebeeb scales to 99 TB self-serve at €10.99/extra TB, with a custom quote beyond — a real difference for high-volume needs.
Marginally cheaper at 1 TB, and transparent
Beebeeb Pro is €10.99/month for 1 TB; Tresorit’s 1 TB is €11.99/month (€9.99 billed annually). Close on price — Beebeeb’s edge is everything around it, not a dramatic discount. (Beebeeb also has smaller entry plans: Starter at €1.99/month for 100 GB and Basic at €3.99/month for 200 GB.)
Who should use which
- → You need documented HIPAA / ISO 27001 / TISAX compliance today
- → You manage a large regulated team and need mature admin controls
- → You want polished desktop sync clients available right now
- → A long enterprise track record is a procurement requirement
- → You want to verify the encryption in open source
- → You want a free trial with no device limit
- → You need a CLI, scripted backups or WebDAV
- → You need to scale well past 4 TB
What Tresorit does well
Tresorit has built encrypted cloud storage since 2011 with a strong enterprise track record. Its encryption is genuinely zero-knowledge, covering files and metadata, and its compliance story — HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, TISAX — is well documented.
For regulated industries (law, healthcare, finance) the admin controls, audit trails and Swiss / EU region selection are mature and reliable. The desktop sync clients are polished.
Where Beebeeb is different
Both are genuinely zero-knowledge, so this is not an encryption argument. The differences are verifiability, tooling and scale. Beebeeb’s clients and core are open source — Tresorit is closed, and compliance certificates are not the same as a public crypto audit.
Beebeeb lets you start on a 14-day free trial (versus Tresorit’s 3 GB, 2-device free Basic plan), ships a CLI and WebDAV for automation, and scales to 99 TB. On price the two are close (€10.99 vs €11.99/month at 1 TB) — the edge is open source, developer tooling and EU jurisdiction, not a dramatic discount.
Switching is low-risk by design
Other honest options
We’d rather you find the right tool than the wrong one. A few other alternatives worth a look:
Proton Drive
Swiss, zero-knowledge and open source — audited, bundled with VPN/Mail/Pass. Relocating infra out of Switzerland in 2026.
Sync.com
Zero-knowledge and affordable, but Canadian-based and closed source.
pCloud
Swiss-based with optional client-side encryption — but the zero-knowledge layer is a paid add-on, not the default.
Nextcloud (self-hosted)
Open-source and EU-friendly if you run it yourself — full control, but you operate the server.
Tresorit alternative: common questions
Yes — Tresorit’s free Basic plan gives you 3 GB of zero-knowledge storage on up to two devices. Beebeeb has no free plan; instead it gives you a 14-day free trial on Starter, Basic and Pro, with the same zero-knowledge encryption and no device cap (no card or iDEAL is needed to start it; the trial has less storage, to prevent misuse).
No, Tresorit is closed source. Beebeeb’s clients and encryption core are public, so you can read the code and verify the encryption claims yourself. Tresorit publishes compliance certificates instead, which are not the same as a public crypto audit.
Marginally at 1 TB — Beebeeb Pro is €10.99/month versus Tresorit’s €11.99/month (€9.99 billed annually). The two are close on price; Beebeeb’s real advantages are open source, a free trial, and scaling to 99 TB. Beebeeb also has a smaller entry plan, Basic at €3.99/month for 200 GB.
Tresorit’s top personal plan is 4 TB. Beebeeb scales to 99 TB self-serve at €10.99 per extra terabyte, with a custom quote beyond that — a meaningful difference for high-volume storage.
