# Which Storage Studio plan should I choose?

Pick by how long you expect to use it. **Monthly** suits trying it for a project or two and cancelling any time. **Annual** costs less than twelve months of Monthly and is marked *Best value* in the app. **Lifetime** is one payment with no renewal and all future updates included.

All three unlock exactly the same features, so you never lose functionality by choosing the cheaper-per-month option. Compare current prices on the [pricing page](https://storagestudio.us/pricing).
