Unraid has come out with their new pricing plan.

I have mistakenly said in some comments here before that they were doing away with their lifetime plan. They still have it, but it is just more expensive. They have introduced a couple of cheaper annual subscription plans.

If anyone is still on the fence about buying Unraid, you have a week until the new pricing plan comes into affect.

After seeing so many examples of companies really screwing up their pricing changes, it is refreshing to see Unraid do this so well.

I don’t have half the world’s RAM to give to ZFS on my budget NAS tho, and Unraid allows mismatched drive sizes, which is pretty attractive to budget users. TrueNAS is definitely great though.

If you're on a budget, paying 110$ for an unraid license certainly doesn't help your situation...

There are cheap NASes/home servers to be bought/built for a couple hundred bucks, with very limited RAM, while TrueNAS recommends 8GB minimum. It’s also often much cheaper to have the option to buy mismatched drives on sale and expand your storage over time, than having to buy matched drives, and having to plan long term for potential expansion of else have to replace a whole set of drives at once if you need more. But fair enough, yes.
