pCloud Lifetime Deal in 2026: $219 for 500 GB, $499 for 2 TB, Sold Direct With a 14-Day Refund

By Dominique Abbey · Published 17 October 2026

Short answer: the pCloud lifetime deal is live, but not on AppSumo. pCloud sells lifetime plans from its own site: 500 GB for $219, 2 TB for $499 and 10 TB for $1,499, each a one-time payment with a 14-day money-back guarantee. The AppSumo listing for the 500 GB plan is sold out. We checked all of this on 17 October 2026.

Deal status: is the pCloud lifetime deal still available?

Yes, direct from pCloud. The lifetime tab on pCloud's pricing page listed three plans when we checked on 17 October 2026:

The crossed-out figures are pCloud's own "regular" prices. pCloud runs its lifetime tab permanently and the discount moves around during sales, so treat the right-hand column as marketing and the left-hand column as the real price.

The AppSumo route is closed. The listing "pCloud 500 GB lifetime" shows "Sold out" and "This deal is unavailable". It carried a 5.00-star rating from 8 reviews and, while live, sold for $122 against a $500 list price in our records. That listing was partner-managed, so AppSumo's "We Got Your Back" shutdown guarantee never applied to it. If you own a code from that run, the licence sits in your pCloud account like any other lifetime plan.

Who's behind pCloud

pCloud is run by pCloud International AG, founded in 2013 and based in Europe. Its about page claims more than 22 million users. It is one of the few cloud storage companies that has sold lifetime plans continuously for a decade rather than as a one-off launch promotion, which is the single most reassuring fact on this page: the lifetime plan is the business model, not a growth hack.

There is no record of pCloud in the DealKeep graveyard and no pattern of revoked-licence complaints that we could find. Compare that with the TrueRanker lifetime deal, where buyers were later asked to pay again.

Refund window: what you can and cannot do

• Bought direct from pCloud: 14 days, stated on the pricing page as "14 days money back guarantee". That is short compared with AppSumo's 60 days, so upload a real chunk of your data in the first week, test the desktop sync and the sharing links, and decide before day 14.
• Bought on AppSumo while the listing was live: the standard 60-day window applied from your purchase date. That listing is sold out, so any window on an old purchase has long closed.
• Resold codes: do not buy one. pCloud lifetime plans are tied to the account that redeems them, and a reseller cannot give you a refund path.

Should you buy the pCloud lifetime deal?

The maths is simple. pCloud's own annual 2 TB plan costs more per year than most people expect, so the $499 lifetime price pays for itself in roughly three to four years of subscription. If you would otherwise rent 2 TB from Google or Dropbox for a decade, this is one of the better lifetime purchases in software.

Three things to weigh before paying once:

1. Lifetime means the company's lifetime. pCloud has a longer track record than any AppSumo tool, but the risk is never zero. Keep a local copy of anything irreplaceable, whatever provider you use.
2. Storage is the only thing frozen. Unlike AI tools, where a frozen tier loses value as models move on, 2 TB of storage is 2 TB of storage. The frozen-tier trap does not really apply here.
3. Compare the two rivals. Icedrive sells 2 TB lifetime for $699 with a 30-day guarantee, and Koofr sells 1 TB lifetime for $199.99 through StackSocial. pCloud is the cheapest per terabyte of the three at the 2 TB level.

If you already own a pCloud lifetime plan

Record it. A lifetime storage plan is the kind of purchase that never shows up on a credit-card statement again, which is exactly how it gets forgotten when you buy a second one in a sale. In DealKeep, add it with the purchase date and the tier so the duplicate check warns you before you buy more storage you already own.
