I have iCloud+ on a family plan. Gives me Apple TV, Music, Fitness and 2TB of storage. I use it to back up all my photos (with a process to back them up to my local NAS as well as additional cloud storage - AWS Glacier)

I’m on a Mac all day and have an iPhone and iPad, so it works for me.

Some alternatives might be cheaper, but the integrations are too good to pass up.
