“Not published” means we did not find a renewal price stated by the vendor on the date we checked. It is not a claim that the price changes on renewal, and it is not a claim that it doesn’t.
pCloud Premium Plus is $99.99 a year for 2 TB, shown against a struck-through $119.88 on the Annual tab of the pricing page.
That is $50.00 per terabyte per year, against the $59.94 that Apple, Google and Dropbox all charge for the same 2 TB — $19.89 a year less for identical capacity. The larger Ultra tier is better still: $299.99 a year for 10 TB, or $30.00 per terabyte per year, the cheapest single-bucket rate we recorded. Below 2 TB the discipline goes: Premium 500 GB at $49.99 a year is $99.98 per terabyte.
The free allowance is worded as “up to 10 GB” rather than a flat grant, which is the kind of phrasing that usually means the last few gigabytes have conditions attached. We have recorded the wording rather than a number.
pCloud publishes no renewal price for the annual plan.
