What you're paying for
What the paid plans put in your hands with MEGA:
- Up to 20GB free with zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption on all files by default
- Client-side encryption so MEGA cannot read stored files
- Versioning, deleted-file retention and selective sync
- Bundled MEGA Pass (password manager), VPN and encrypted chat on Pro plans
- Encrypted file/folder sharing with key-in-link model
Which capabilities land on which plan depends on the tier, so use the table above to match features to budget.
Which plan to pick
MEGA is built for privacy-minded users wanting a large free encrypted cloud, plus bundled privacy tools on paid plans. Match that description and the Pro Lite 400GB plan (~EUR 4.99/mo) is where to start; a higher tier earns its cost only when you need encrypted-storage.
Is MEGA worth it?
If free-storage is your goal, start low: the cheapest paid tier covers it for most users, and encrypted-storage is what eventually pushes you up a level. On a tight budget, line the cheapest paid plan up against the alternatives first.
Pricing watch-outs
- Monthly data-transfer (bandwidth) limits can lock heavy users out temporarily.
- Strict monthly transfer/bandwidth limits can temporarily lock out free users.

MEGA keeps pricing relatively flat per tier, so the main decision is which plan's features you need rather than how heavily you'll use it.
