Why This Site Exists

Cloud storage pricing is surprisingly hard to compare. Providers scatter their pricing across confusing plan tiers, use different billing cycles, and make it difficult to calculate how much you're actually paying per gigabyte.

pricecompare.xyz was built to cut through the noise. The goal is simple: give you a single, clear table that shows exactly what you're getting for your money across 10+ major providers — updated daily, with no spin or marketing fluff.

Our Methodology: Real-World Testing

We don't just aggregate data; we live it. Our team maintains active accounts with the top 15 providers to test real-world upload speeds, mobile app responsiveness, and recovery reliability. When we say a provider is "Best for Photos," it's because we've actually uploaded 1,000+ RAW files and timed the generation of thumbnails.

Our automated systems check provider pricing pages daily to ensure accuracy. We track:

  • Monthly and annual subscription prices
  • Free tier offerings and storage limits
  • Price per terabyte for easy value comparison
  • Key features: end-to-end encryption, file versioning, collaboration tools
  • Platform availability (mobile apps, desktop clients, web access)

When prices change, we update the database within 24 hours. The "last updated" timestamp shown throughout the site reflects the most recent data refresh.

Our Independence

pricecompare.xyz is an independent comparison site. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or in a paid relationship with any of the cloud storage providers listed on this site. Provider links are provided purely as a convenience — we do not earn commissions when you click through or sign up.

This site is currently funded through Google AdSense display advertising. Advertisements shown on this site are served by Google and are clearly distinguishable from our editorial content. They do not influence our rankings, recommendations, or the data we display.

Methodology

Prices are sourced directly from each provider's official pricing page. Where a provider offers both monthly and annual billing, we display both. The "$/TB/month" value we calculate normalizes all plans to the same unit, making it easy to spot genuine value regardless of plan size.

Ratings are our editorial assessment based on publicly available reviews, feature sets, reliability track records, and pricing competitiveness — not paid placements.
