iCloud+ Price History

iCloud+ costs $0.99 per month for 50GB, $2.99/month for 200GB, and $9.99/month for 2TB in the US, with big-capacity tiers at $29.99/month for 6TB and $59.99/month for 12TB. Every paid plan includes privacy features like Private Relay and Hide My Email, and Apple has never raised these US prices.

Every Apple Account includes 5GB of free iCloud storage, shared across device backups, photos, and iCloud Drive. That is less than Google's free 15GB, though more than Dropbox's 2GB, and it fills up fast with photo libraries. When you outgrow it, the cheapest upgrade is the 50GB iCloud+ plan at $0.99 per month.

Yes. Any paid iCloud+ plan can be shared with up to five other people through Apple's Family Sharing at no extra cost — the free 5GB tier cannot be shared. Each member's files stay private, and family members on the free plan are added to the shared pool automatically. Most families choose the 200GB ($2.99) or 2TB ($9.99) plan.

Every paid iCloud+ plan — even the $0.99 50GB tier — includes iCloud Private Relay (which hides your IP address in Safari), Hide My Email disposable addresses, a custom email domain for iCloud Mail, and expanded HomeKit Secure Video camera support. Apple added these features at no extra cost when iCloud became iCloud+ in 2021.

No. In the US, the 50GB ($0.99), 200GB ($2.99), and 2TB ($9.99) monthly prices have been unchanged since before the iCloud+ rebrand in June 2021, and the 6TB ($29.99) and 12TB ($59.99) tiers still cost what they did at their September 2023 launch. iCloud+ has avoided the increases seen across Apple's other services.

iCloud is Apple's free 5GB baseline service; iCloud+ is the name for any paid storage plan. Apple announced iCloud+ at WWDC on June 7, 2021 and rolled it out with iOS 15, adding Private Relay, Hide My Email, custom email domains, and HomeKit Secure Video to paid tiers without changing storage prices.

Yes. Every Apple One tier bundles iCloud+ storage: Individual ($19.95/month) includes 50GB, Family ($25.95/month) includes 200GB, and Premier ($37.95/month) includes 2TB. If you already pay $9.99/month for 2TB of iCloud+ plus several other Apple services, the Premier bundle can cost less than subscribing to each separately.
