ente is focused towards solving the sole problem of photo storage and organization while Mega serves as a general purpose drive. The product is in it's infancy right now. Once we have search and indexing, the difference will hopefully be clearer.

Sharing my response to a similar question we ran into on reddit[1].

> Our pricing is structured such that the 1TB plan costs only 3x the 100GB plan. This model works under the assumption that the average utilization of a 1TB plan (across all customers) will be close to 30%.

> So if we bring in an intermediary plan (say 500GB), we would have increase the pricing of the 1TB plan (since at least 50% will now be utilized), and also set the price of the 500GB plan to around 2-2.5x of the 100GB plan.

> This seemed like a lose-lose situation for everyone with growing storage needs.

> Since Apple and Google don't support per GB billing yet (which IMO would have been the fairest way to go), we had to pick buckets, and the current ones seemed like the fairest possible.

I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if we can do better.
