VERDICT

Should I use Econ Technologies, Inc.?

Econ Technologies is a leader in file sync and backup software for Mac. Its suite of Mac software products aids in file safety, management, and storage. - econtechnologies.com

Depends. Buy ChronoSync if you're a Mac power user running scheduled, multi-machine, or archive sync jobs that Time Machine can't handle. Casual users, Windows shops, and anyone wanting simple set-and-forget backup should skip it.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources; pricing figures and large-scale user reviews absent from evidence.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

No prices visible on reviewed pages; verify license cost and paid upgrade fees before buying

medium

No public security page and no vulnerability disclosures — security posture is hard to assess

medium

Vendor is very small; if it folds, updates and license servers may stall

low

Tiny review base; real-world reliability is hard to verify independently
