iCloud+ pricing is the same worldwide and tied to your Apple ID. The 50 GB tier covers basic phone backups for most people. 200 GB suits a family. 2 TB is really for heavy camera use and 4K video.
Here's the catch. iCloud is only worth it if you actually use the Apple services bundled with it, like Hide My Email, Private Relay, and custom email domains. If all you want is storage, you can buy it elsewhere for the same price or less.
If your household runs entirely on Apple devices, iCloud+ is the easy choice and there's nothing wrong with taking it. If it doesn't, the table below shows providers that cost less at 2 TB and still work fine on an iPhone.
Frequently asked
- How much is iCloud 2 TB per month?
- Apple charges €9.99 a month for iCloud+ 2 TB, the same price worldwide. Family sharing is included on every paid tier at no extra cost.
- Can I move my iCloud photos elsewhere?
- Yes. Apple's Data and Privacy portal lets you export your full iCloud Photos library, which you can then upload to another provider. Most people do this once and then turn iCloud Photos off.
- What is the cheapest 2 TB cloud storage right now?
- It changes as providers run promotions, so the table on this page uses live data and re-ranks itself. As a rule, value providers and lifetime plans beat the big names.
