  HI there, it’s actually cheaper to upgrade your site to the Personal or Premium plan instead of buying the Add-On.

  Personal comes with an additional 5GB (for total of 6GB) of storage and Premium with an additional 12GB (for total of 13GB) compared with the current free plan’s 1GB and both come with much more beyond additional storage. Click on the Learn more link to compare plans.

  If you routinely optimize your images before uploading them to your WordPress.com website, either of those plans should last you for a long time. More on that here:
