## Zoolz Cloud Backup 12 TB

- `storage/zoolz-cloud-backup-12-tb` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence reported | binding none | category Cold-storage backup, subscription (lifetime SKUs exist via deal sites)
- needs card yes, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-01T18:05:08.101Z, checked 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://zoolz.com/pricing/
- price $2.78/TB at 12 TB ($399.99/yr = $33.33/mo); $2.86/TB at 7 TB ($239.99/yr); $2.67/TB at 2.5 TB ($79.99/yr). Cold tier only. | parsed USD 2.67/TB-mo
- free tier: 2.5 TB (2 TB cold + 500 GB hot) $79.99/yr; 7 TB (6 TB cold + 1 TB hot) $239.99/yr; 12 TB (10 TB cold + 2 TB hot) $399.99/yr; 24 TB (20 TB cold + 4 TB hot) $759.99/yr | unit: TB | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: Not published as a fee; cold-tier retrieval is the practical cost and is not quantified on the pricing page | metered: no
- identity: card | detail: the sign-up form asks for a full name, email address, password, company name, country and a license key, and the trial it opens is 14 days. Payment is a card through a Stripe checkout, and the terms say a card on file is charged automatically on renewal. No phone field is on the form.
- interface: s3, webdav, rclone
- limits note: Constraint type: write-gated — cold storage means the restore is a request workflow. File upload size 20 GB on the small tier.
- interface detail: Windows client, S3-ish 'Instant Vault' for the hot portion
- tooling: no rclone/WebDAV found for the cold tier
- composes with: poor — cold tier is restore-on-request, not a filesystem
- reliability: Same corporate family as Polarbackup, which revoked paid lifetime deals outright. Zoolz's own $34.99-$49.99 '1 TB lifetime' SKUs sold through Cult of Mac / BleepingComputer / Mashable stacks are the classic revocable instrument.
- notes: 2.5 TB (2 TB cold + 500 GB hot) $79.99/yr; 7 TB (6+1) $239.99/yr; 12 TB (10 cold + 2 hot) $399.99/yr
- extras:
  - price_verbatim: $2.78/TB at 12 TB ($399.99/yr = $33.33/mo); $2.86/TB at 7 TB ($239.99/yr); $2.67/TB at 2.5 TB ($79.99/yr). Cold tier only.
