It sounds like you are wanting to know how much it costs to have an iCloud account. When you sign up for an iCloud account you get 5GB of free storage.
When you sign up for iCloud, you automatically get 5 GB of free storage for Backup, Documents, and Mail. Your purchased music, movies, apps, books, TV shows, and photo streams don’t count against that free storage.
From: iCloud: Storage upgrades and downgrades
Pricing varies from country to country but the following article will provide you with information on how much it would cost to upgrade your storage if you need it:

Correction: You get 5GB of storage with an iCloud account, not when signing up for an AppleID. You can have an AppleID without having an iCloud account, so they're not necessarily the same.

There is no "subscription fee" for using iCloud.
The only cost (which is optional), is for purchasing additional storage above the 5GB you get included. If 5GB of storage is enough for you then there are no costs. There is no obligation to buy additional storage though.
