pCloud sells lifetime storage for a single payment, which over five years costs less than any subscription and removes the monthly bill from a creator's overheads. Files stream without downloading first, so a media library stays browsable. The one-time price is real but the encryption add-on is separate, and lifetime means the company's lifetime.
The lifetime tab is the interesting one: 500GB for $199, 2TB for $399 and 10TB for $1,190, each a single payment with a 14-day money back guarantee. Monthly and annual subscriptions exist alongside for people who prefer them. Client-side encryption is sold separately rather than included. Against a $10 a month subscription the 2TB lifetime plan pays for itself in a little over three years, which is the calculation worth doing before buying.
A creator with a growing archive of raw footage who would rather pay once than forever. Anybody needing team permissions and shared workflows should look at Dropbox or Frame.io instead.
Lifetime means the company's lifetime, not yours, and that is the whole risk in this purchase. pCloud has been going since 2013, which is longer than most, but do not let it be the only copy of anything you cannot re-shoot.
