<p>"Nextcloud employs an open approach to support giving direct access to  Nextcloud engineers, the latest knowledge and best practices", said Frank Karlitschek. "And we do this offering reasonable pricing in multiple tiers capable of fitting different business needs, from small businesses with our Spreedbox to large enterprises with a subscription"</p>

<p>Besides enterprise functionality and support, Nextcloud partners with TWSweb, creators of the well known Cryptocloud iOS app, to deliver a capable and proven iOS client to customers and users, available in the Apple Appstore right away.</p>
