Question: How many services do you know of that charge X for 6 months and 2x for 12 months? There's almost always a discount for a longer commitment, so it's quite likely we'll do something along those lines as well. As Liz point out above, the only thing we've announced at this point is $24.99 for 6 months of cloud. More details will be forthcoming in early 2014 as we get V1.0 officially launched.

Is it as simple as ...
"Without the subscription, only the GM with the GM software can view the realm info?"
... and ...
"With the subscription, others can access the information as well, through a player client, or eventually with a web browser."

At the simplest level, that's basically accurate. The cloud provides the means to distribute the content you've revealed to your players, as well as sync material across multiple machines you use (e.g. desktop and laptop). Without the cloud, the GM has full access to the material, and the integrated Player View mechanism can be utilized during games, but there is no means of distributing content to your players for independent (potentially offline) access.
