Pricing recommendations
"A Dropbox for your AI data and pictures" — here's how your current tiers land against commodity cloud storage, and what we'd suggest instead.
| Service | Entry tier | Mid tier | Top tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dropbox | 2 GB free | 2 TB · $12/mo (Plus) | 3 TB · $20/mo (Essentials) |
| Google One | 15 GB free | 200 GB · $3/mo | 2 TB · $10/mo |
| iCloud+ | 50 GB · $1/mo | 200 GB · $3/mo | 2 TB · $10/mo |
| Marginalia (today) | 100 MB free | 5 GB · $20/mo | 350 GB · $350 lifetime |
Reality check: pure storage at 5 GB costs Dropbox users effectively pennies. Charging $20/mo for 5 GB reads as ~40× the market rate, so paid tiers need to feel like an AI-powered archive, not a drive.
What we'd recommend: Reprice around value + volume, keep a real free tier, and reserve Lifetime for a large ceiling.
Big enough that the archive feels useful, not a trial. Converts curiosity into habit.
In line with iCloud/Google One 200 GB — pays for AI search, not raw bytes.
Matches Google One 2 TB pricing but positions AI + tagging as the real product.
One-time buyer's ceiling. $350 for 350 GB is under-storage vs Dropbox; 1 TB reads fair.
Benchmarks are approximate US list prices at time of writing; verify against each provider before publishing.
