Continuity escrow is a business protection service that ensures continuous operation of critical application environments. In a continuity escrow agreement, a trusted third-party escrow agent, such as Codekeeper, stands ready to take over payments for hosting environments and essential third-party services if you or your vendors cannot maintain them. This agent manages payments to hosting providers and critical supporting services on your behalf to protect you against vendor failures, ransomware, and other digital risks.

Continuity escrow costs between $20,000 to $50,000 or more per year. The exact price depends on your application environment's complexity and how many services need protection. At Codekeeper, prices start at $349 per month.

The customer (or licensee) typically pays for continuity escrow. Since this service protects the customer's business operations and ensures their critical services keep running, they usually cover the cost as part of their risk management. While some vendors might share costs during negotiations, this is less common than in traditional software escrow arrangements.
