A diferença real
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
iCloud stands out with Seamless sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac and iCloud Drive with Finder and Files app integration. pCloud counters with Lifetime plan option and Client-side encryption (paid add-on).
iCloud's Achilles heel: terrible experience on windows and android — and 5gb free in 2026 is embarrassingly stingy. pCloud's: encryption costs extra ($49.99 one-time) — privacy is the selling point but it’s paywalled separately. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value seamless sync across iphone, ipad, and mac and usuários apple que querem, go with iCloud. If usuários focados em privacidade matters more, pCloud is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
