About this appAI proposal
Fairkeep is an encrypted cloud backup for people and small businesses in Europe. You pick folders, they are encrypted on your device, and they are stored in EU data centres. The price on the first page is the price on your card, with VAT for your country already in it.
Users of existing unlimited backup services say the VAT cost only shows at checkout. Fairkeep shows the full price from the first visit, in your currency, with a line showing the tax part. The invoice matches the page.
It is built for households and teams of up to about twenty people who want to set it up once and stop thinking about it. A PWA dashboard shows what is protected, what changed and how to restore.

- Why this name
- Fair points to honest pricing and keep to what a backup does: it keeps your files. Two plain words joined, easy to say in any European language.
In the first version
Members say which features they would use. It tells PWAS what people want; it changes no score.
VAT-inclusive price from the first page
Your country is detected and the final price is shown with the VAT part itemised. No new amount appears at checkout.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- No loop in the product. Reached through search, comparison content and communities where people discuss backup and hidden fees. Team owners may recommend it, but the product itself does not spread through use.
- Do they become customers?
- Visitors to the price page can become customers directly. Test whether a VAT-inclusive price page converts better than a typical page, and whether people leave existing services over it.
- First customers
- Freelancers and offices of 2 to 10 people in one EU country, such as Germany, who now pay for an unlimited backup plan and handle their own IT.
- Where to reach them
- Hacker News and Reddit: Post a clear explanation of the pricing and encryption model in threads about backup switching, and invite feedback.
- Comparison pages: Publish a page that shows total prices with VAT for several EU countries and what unlimited means.
- Freelancer communities: Offer early access in local forums and groups for freelancers and small agencies.
- First milestone
- Twenty paying customers in one country within 90 days, with at least half coming from the price page.
Why people already pay for this

RisksAI inference
- CommercialUnlimited storage at a flat price can cost more than it earns if a few users store very large amounts. The fair-use limits and storage costs need testing early.
- PlatformBrowsers limit background file access. Reliable automatic backup likely needs a desktop companion app, which adds work beyond a PWA.
- TechnicalClient-side encryption means lost keys cannot be recovered. Large uploads, resume and restore speed are hard to get right.
- RegulatoryHandling personal data in the EU needs GDPR compliance, a data processing agreement for businesses, and correct VAT handling per country.
- CommercialThe only evidence is one public claim on Hacker News. Whether enough people switch over price clarity alone is unproven.
