iCloud vs pCloud——哪个更胜一筹？
选 iCloud，如果你: 想要无脑备份和同步的Apple用户——全套Apple设备的话确实好用
选 pCloud，如果你: 注重隐私、想一次性终身买断而不是永远交月费的用户
我们的看法: iCloud for simplicity, pCloud for power users.
| iCloud | pCloud | |
|---|---|---|
| 价格 | Free 5GB with any Apple ID | iCloud+ 50GB $0.99/mo | 10 GB free | Premium 500 GB $49.99/year |
| 功能 | Seamless sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, iCloud Drive with Finder and Files app integration, Private Relay for anonymous web browsing (paid), Hide My Email for disposable addresses, Shared family storage with up to 5 members | Lifetime plan option, Client-side encryption (paid add-on), Built-in media player, File versioning (30 days), Branded file sharing links |
| 最适合 | Apple users who want effortless backup and sync without thinking about it — it just works if you are all-in on Apple | Privacy-focused users who want a one-time lifetime payment instead of monthly subscriptions forever |
| 学习曲线 | 简单 | 简单 |
真正的区别
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.
最终结论
If you value seamless sync across iphone, ipad, and mac and 想要无脑备份和同步的apple用户——全套apple设备的话确实好用, go with iCloud. If 注重隐私、想一次性终身买断而不是永远交月费的用户 matters more, pCloud is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
