What running it takes

Kopia standalone binary / KopiaUI

or

Kopia repository server

Hover or focus an icon for its name. Dashed means not established; struck through means no; grouped icons are alternatives.

No external SQL/cache/queue needed for standalone path. Optional repository server requires underlying storage and reachable clients. Server only access-controls snapshot/policy manifests; not arbitrary content-ID reads. Desktop installers are not a server one-click template. Infrastructure and staff time are not priced here; this page does not compare total cost.
