Looking for 'unlimited' cloud backup: Jottacloud or OpenDrive? (alien.top)

I'm looking for a cloud backup service that allows me to upload daily backups from my macbook and home Linux server automatically without having to worry about storage limits.

Of course I understand 'unlimited' is never actually unlimited, in my use case I guess I'll typically stay below 10-15 TB for many years to come.

After comparing many alternatives it boils down to OpenDrive or Jottacloud for me. I have tried free trial accounts with both, and they both seem to work OK for my needs. Also the cost is about the same. I don't care about encryption, all my uploaded archives are encrypted client side anyway.

Also I don't need fancy client or backup software, I upload from CLI only (using rclone).

Any user experiences that would recommend either of these, or favor one over the other?

Any insight is much appreciated!

Thanks to everyone for their comments. I actually ended up with Pcloud: I took today's Black Friday offer of 10 TB storage for a one time lifetime fee of €890. Unless they go out of business, I expect this will suffice for my needs indefinitely.
