iCloud is more than just a storage space. Natively integrated into the Apple ecosystem, it synchronizes your photos, secures your passwords and backs up your devices. But as files get larger and larger, the free 5GB is quickly saturated.
What is the current price of iCloud+ and how can you optimize your budget? Here’s the complete guide to stop paying full price.
Official iCloud+ prices
Apple now offers six storage tiers. All iCloud+ packages include premium features: Private Relay (Safari VPN), Hide my e-mail address and support for HomeKit Secure Video.
| Storage space | Monthly price | Prices on Sharesub |
| 5 GB | Free | – |
| 50 GB | 0,99€ | – |
| 200 GB | 2,99€ | 1,42€ |
| 2 To | 9,99€ | 2,65€ |
| 6 To | 29,99€ | 6,15€ |
| 12 To | 59,99€ | 11,40€ |
Note: Starting with the 200 GB package, sharing with 5 other family members is included at no extra cost.
3 tips to reduce your iCloud bill
While Apple’s prices are fixed, there are legal solutions for obtaining the same services for just a few euros.
1. Use Sharesub to divide the price by 4
The most effective method in 2026 is co-subscription via Sharesub. How does it work? You join the family group of another user who has free space. Your data remains 100% private (no one sees your photos), but costs are shared.
- iCloud+ 200 GB: ~€1.42/month (instead of €2.99)
- iCloud+ 2Tb: ~€2.65/month (instead of €9.99)
- iCloud+ 12Tb: ~€11.40/month (instead of €59.99)
Got unused space? Make the most of your subscription
Many users subscribe to the 2TB or 6TB package for peace of mind, but only really use a fraction of it. Leaving this space empty is a waste of money.
If you have an iCloud+ package, you can offer your free seats on Sharesub.
- The principle: You remain “head of the family” and invite other members to join your storage.
- The payoff: By sharing a 2TB package (€9.99) with 4 people, you can save up to €7.50 a month.
- Your final subscription: It costs only €2.49 instead of €10.
In terms of security, Apple guarantees that your data is watertight. The members you welcome onto your subscription have no access to your photos, messages or files. They simply consume a portion of your overall storage “quota”.
2. Opt for the Apple One pack
If you already use Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade, the Apple One bundled subscription is mathematically more profitable.
- Apple One Family: €25.95/month (includes 200 GB).
- Sharesub tip: By joining an Apple One Family group on Sharesub, you pay just €5.44/month for full Apple services.
3. Clean before you pay
Before upgrading, save space for free:
Disable iCloud backup for unnecessary apps (Settings > Profile > iCloud > Show all).
Delete duplicate photos (via the “Duplicates” album in iOS).
Empty large attachments in the Messages app.
