$2,400$2,400-$3,000/year for dedicated VM plus per-user licensing
Target price of $5/user/month ($42k/year) faces challenges when factoring in a dedicated cloud VM ($200-$250/month) for the backup infrastructure, Veeam M365 licensing per user, and storage. BaaS providers exist but may price at $10+/user making the model uneconomical at scale.
