Quick answer:<\/strong> AvePoint Fly does not have published per-user pricing. It is sold through a custom quote, licensed either per user or per migrated object, with minimum quantities often required. The right licensing model matters more to your total cost than which tool you pick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n AvePoint Fly is priced through a custom quote rather than a published rate card, with two licensing models to choose from: user-based, where one license covers everything being migrated for a single person, and object-based, where one license covers a single migrated item regardless of its size.<\/strong> Which model fits your project depends on how your data is structured, not just how many people you are migrating.<\/p>\n User-based licensing is what most reviewers and partners recommend for standard mailbox, OneDrive, and Teams migrations, since one license per person covers everything tied to that person regardless of how many individual items they own. Object-based licensing can look appealing for narrow migrations, moving a single SharePoint site or a handful of shared drives, but it adds up quickly for anyone with a typical mix of mailbox, files, and chat data, since each object needs its own license.<\/p>\n AvePoint also offers Fly as either a SaaS platform or Fly Server, a self-hosted version you install and run in your own environment. Self-hosted deployments shift some infrastructure cost and management onto your team in exchange for keeping data movement inside your own network, which matters for organizations in regulated industries or those with strict data residency requirements.<\/p>\n AvePoint sells Fly primarily through a reseller and partner network rather than direct self-service, and quote-based pricing is standard for tools positioned at larger, more complex migrations where the right configuration varies significantly by customer.<\/strong> This is a legitimate business model, not a red flag on its own, but it does shift work onto the buyer that a published price list would otherwise handle.<\/p>\n Reviewers on independent platforms describe AvePoint Fly as moderately priced and broadly comparable to tools like BitTitan, with some noting confusion over minimum license quantities during the buying process. Without a published number to anchor against, it is harder to know whether a given quote is competitive, which is exactly the gap a partner who has bought this tool before can close.<\/p>\n Requesting a quote gets you a license price. It does not get you a migration plan, a recommendation on which licensing model fits your environment, or anyone to run the project once you have signed the contract.<\/strong> The DIY gap here starts earlier than it does with a published-price tool, since even getting an accurate number requires someone to understand your environment well enough to ask AvePoint the right questions.<\/p>\n Not sure which licensing model fits your migration?<\/p>\n Apps4Rent’s migration engineers can assess your environment, recommend user-based or object-based licensing, and get you an accurate AvePoint Fly quote instead of guessing.<\/p>\n Get a Free Licensing Assessment \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n An Apps4Rent managed migration handles the quote and licensing decision alongside the full project, planning, execution, error remediation, and validation, so you are not negotiating a custom contract for a tool you have never used before while also trying to run the migration itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n This kind of managed approach is part of a broader Microsoft 365 tenant migration<\/a> practice at Apps4Rent, where AvePoint Fly is one of several tools brought in depending on which fits a given environment, alongside per-user tools for smaller or more straightforward projects.<\/p>\n A self-run AvePoint Fly migration makes sense for organizations with an existing relationship with an AvePoint partner, a clear sense of their licensing needs, and an IT team comfortable navigating an enterprise procurement process on top of the technical migration work.<\/strong> Larger IT departments with prior AvePoint experience, often from using other products in the AvePoint Confidence Platform, are typically well positioned to buy and run Fly independently.<\/p>\n Where DIY carries more risk is for teams evaluating AvePoint for the first time, without a clear read on whether user-based or object-based licensing fits their environment, or without the internal bandwidth to manage both a vendor negotiation and a live migration project at the same time.<\/p>\n Base the decision on whether your team can confidently evaluate a custom quote and licensing model on its own, since that evaluation step is where an inexperienced buyer is most likely to overpay or under-provision.<\/strong> A few questions worth asking first:<\/p>\n If the honest answer to more than one of these is uncertain, a managed migration removes both the pricing guesswork and the execution risk in one engagement.<\/p>\n Microsoft Solutions Partner \u00b7 Migration Specialists<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Apps4Rent’s migration engineers will assess your environment, recommend the right licensing model, and quote a fully managed migration, licensing and execution included, so you are not navigating an enterprise sales process alone.<\/p>\n\n
