EGroupware eCloud Package at a glance
This listing is the eCloud package sold through Digistore24 order form 58103. EGroupware is an open-source collaboration suite, and the vendor's pricing page describes the cloud option as hosting in a German cloud (IONOS), with automatic updates, backups in two data centres, ticket support and Jitsi video meetings included. The order form sells the base package for EUR 24.90 a month or EUR 249 a year, with 2 concurrent users and 20 GB of storage, and lets you add extra concurrent users, storage, Collabora Online Office licences and consulting hours. The page says the number of user accounts is unlimited and that the limit is how many people are logged in at the same time. Prices exclude VAT. This is a real software service from a named company, so the review concentrates on what the plan includes and what is left out.

What the package contains
The order form lists the eCloud package with 2 concurrent users and 20 GB of storage. The vendor's pricing page adds that the number of accounts is unlimited, that updates are automatic, that data is backed up in two data centres (at least 7 daily and 12 weekly snapshots, per its FAQ), and that Jitsi meetings are included for small groups.
Collabora Online Office and Rocket.Chat are shown as optional. Individual support is billed separately at 165 euro an hour plus VAT, according to the pricing page.
Price, billing and add-ons
The monthly price is EUR 24.90 with monthly cancellation, or EUR 249 a year with annual cancellation. Both exclude VAT, and the form calculated 0% VAT for the country it detected when we looked, so the total you pay depends on where you are.
The base plan is capped at 2 concurrent users. Each extra concurrent user is EUR 4.90 a month, and volume discounts start at 6 extra units. The vendor's page also shows a per-user monthly licence model, so check which model you need before you order.
Refunds, trial and what is not stated
The form does not state a money-back period or a free trial. It shows Digistore24's standard note about the consumer right of revocation and a 'cancel my order' link. Anything beyond that would come from the vendor's own terms, which we did not review in full.
We have not used the service, so we cannot judge speed, reliability or support quality.
Who is behind it
EGroupware GmbH is named on the vendor's site with an imprint, and the software is published under an open-source licence with an on-premises option. That is much more transparency than many marketplace offers.
