How plans work

Start free

Create an account and your first memory cloud at no cost.

One cloud of your own on Free

You can still join and favorite as many other clouds as you like.

Upgrade any time

Choose the Monthly Plan ($5.99/month for 5 years) or the Perpetual Plan ($299.99 once). Both include the same features; on the Monthly Plan, perpetuity begins once your 5 years of payments are complete.

Storage and AI are shared across your clouds

Your storage and AI image-to-video creations belong to your account, not to each cloud. Every cloud you own draws from the same allowance.

Invite the people who knew them

Contributors add their own memories to your cloud. Free includes up to 2 contributors, or 9 with the referral bonus. The Monthly and Perpetual Plans have no limit.

Kept in perpetuity

Cumulus is built on a data trust. Its purpose is simple: to make sure memories carry on, and that they stay permanently yours.

When you choose the Monthly or Perpetual Plan, you become a member of the Cumulus Data Trust. With the Perpetual Plan, or once your 5 years of monthly payments are complete, the memories in the clouds you own are kept in perpetuity. The photos, voices and moments you gather today can be there for the people who come after you.

Questions families ask

Is Cumulus really free?

Yes. A free account lets you create one memory cloud, store up to 100 MB (about 10 photos), and invite up to 2 contributors, or 9 with the referral bonus. You can join and favorite as many other clouds as you like. You only pay if you choose to upgrade.

Monthly or Perpetual: which should I choose?

Both plans include the same features. The Perpetual Plan is one payment of $299.99, and there is nothing more to pay. The Monthly Plan is $5.99/month for 5 years ($359.40 in total); then the payments stop and your memories are kept in perpetuity. Perpetual costs less overall; Monthly spreads the cost out.

How do I pay?

On the web, payment is handled securely by Stripe. In the Cumulus Companion app, you pay through the App Store or Google Play. Prices on this page are in US dollars; the app stores may show the price in your local currency. Applicable taxes may be added.

What happens when the monthly payments end?

After 5 years on the Monthly Plan, there is nothing more to pay. You keep everything in your plan, you remain a member of the Data Trust, and the memories in your clouds are kept in perpetuity, the same as with the Perpetual Plan.

Who can see my cloud?

On the free plan, your cloud is public: anyone with a Cumulus account can find it in Explore. People who are not signed in to Cumulus cannot see any cloud. On the Monthly and Perpetual Plans, you choose whether each cloud is public or private.

Can family and friends add their own photos?

Yes. Invite them as contributors and they can add their own memories to your cloud: photos, videos, voice recordings, documents and links. On the free plan you can invite up to 2 contributors, or 9 with the referral bonus. On the Monthly and Perpetual Plans there is no limit.

What counts toward my storage?

Your storage is shared across all the clouds you own, rather than set for each cloud. Everything in the clouds you own draws from one allowance: 100 MB on Free, or 10 GB on the Monthly and Perpetual Plans. As a guide, 100 MB holds about 10 photos, and 10 GB holds about 1,000 photos, 20 videos or 100 audio recordings.

AI image-to-video works the same way: 1 creation on Free, 10 on the Monthly and Perpetual Plans, shared by everyone using your clouds.

What is the Data Trust?

Cumulus is underpinned by a data trust, which ensures continuity and permanent ownership of memories. Choosing the Monthly or Perpetual Plan makes you a member. With the Perpetual Plan, or once your 5 years of monthly payments are complete, the memories in the clouds you own are kept in perpetuity.

Can I start free and upgrade later?

Yes. Every account starts free. When you are ready, upgrade to the Monthly or Perpetual Plan from your account, on the web or in the app.

Start a cloud for someone you love.

It is free to get started.
