The free storage offered for iCloud is still at 5GB once you signup. Apple is now offering plans 50GB, 200GB and 2TB for iCloud storage users. Apple bill’s users monthly for their free cloud storage plan.
Apple updated the iCloud plan price on its website. In the US, the plans are as follows: 50GB of monthly iCloud data storage at $0.99, 200GB of data storage at $2.99 per month, and now 2TB at $9.99.

Apple has also announced iCloud Family Sharing, and members can now split one subscription for this iCloud storage. The storage space can be used by all family members on iOS 11, macOS High Sierra. Apple’s plan might not offer a lot of free storage, but the 2TB plan makes for competitive pricing.
In the US, Google Drive offers 100 GB storage at $1.99 per month or users can get it at $19.99 for the whole year. Google’s 1TB plan is at $9.99 per month, so technically Apple is offering double at the same price in the US. However, Google users can also pay $99.99 per year, and get around 17 per cent savings. But Google also has a 10 TB plan, which costs $99.99 per month.
In India, Google is charging 100 GB data space at Rs 130 per month or users can pay Rs 1300 for the whole year. Additionally the 1TB plan is priced at Rs 650 per month, so once again Apple has the better deal for its iPhone, iPad and Mac users.
