This seems very expensive to me.
We got something similar from a private company here in London - umbilical cord, blood, placenta - and the storage fee is £100 per year.l (there was an initial "set up" fee of approx £2,000 too). 85USD a month for storage seems like a lot for the same thing.
We figured that we'd spend perhaps £3,800 all-in to "insure" our kid until they're an adult which seemed like a great deal. 18k USD just for storage seems like less of a clear-cut value proposition.
- pkukp9 5y agoHi! How long are you paying that? Is it for life? Our's is $35, 65, or 85/mo for 8 years to cover 20 years of storage. So it's nowhere near 18k
- mattlondon 5y agoThe pricing page says 85USD/month so I multiplied 85 x 12 x 18 for 18 years storage - I.e. 18,360. We are paying £100 a year for as long as we want to keep it.
- hombre_fatal 5y agoI guess it's like data backups: you don't actually know if you have a good deal until you need to retrieve and use it.

- pkukp9 5y agoFor sure. We're 8 years * 85/mo for payments * 12 months per year for 20 years of storage. So much less than 18k
