The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Keepit search functionality is very limited with restrictive search strings and poor filter options; pCloud headline lifetime prices are discounted promotional prices; the Premium 500GB lifetime plan is listed at $299 struck through down to $199, and Ultra 10TB at $1,890 down to $1,190, so the full non-promotional price is materially higher

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Keepit

  • Search functionality is very limited with restrictive search strings and poor filter options
  • Download speeds during restoration are slow, particularly for mailbox restorations
  • Console interface is complex and unintuitive, making file retrieval time-consuming
  • Limited support for advanced features like Power Automate flows and manual backup job initiation
  • Primarily targets SaaS applications and is not a single platform for on-premises workloads, VMs, or endpoint backup

pCloud

  • Headline lifetime prices are discounted promotional prices; the Premium 500GB lifetime plan is listed at $299 struck through down to $199, and Ultra 10TB at $1,890 down to $1,190, so the full non-promotional price is materially higher
  • Ultra 10TB plan's download link traffic is capped at 2TB, the same limit as the much smaller Premium Plus 2TB plan, despite the 5x storage difference
