I saw another post asking how good Polar Backup’s Unlimited plans are. In 10/2022 I signed up for an 5 TB unlimited Business Plan. On 3/2024 I received the following notification that my plan was being cancelled due to inflation making their service unsustainable however I have the option to change to a 6 TB plan for $70 per year (which I did).

Important Update: Polarbackup Pricing Adjustment
Dear (User),
We hope this message finds you well. Today, we’re reaching out with an important update that impacts our PolarBackup community, including you.
A Necessary Transition for Sustained Quality
In the face of rising operational costs - from data storage to electricity - maintaining our lifetime plan model has become unsustainable. This challenge compels us to adapt, ensuring we can continue offering you the reliable, secure service you depend on.
Unbeatable Value:
- Your Current Storage: You secured 5 TB of cloud storage at a great one-time cost.
- Industry Comparison: Competitors charge around $30/month on average for 5 TB.
- Embracing change, we’re boosting your value: Get 6 TB with PolarBackup for just $6.99/mo ($
24.99/mo) or $69.99/year, enhancing the service to meet your needs.
Savings Over 5 Years:
Competitors: $1,800
- Hidden Fees
VS
Polarbackup: $420No Hidden Fees
Why This Move?
- To Cover Increasing Costs: Your small monthly fee helps us manage the rising costs while avoiding the discontinuation of services.
