What it costs at a typical backup workload

5 TB stored · 0.5 TB egress · light API usage: $100.00/mo ($5.00/mo base (250 GB) + $20.00/TB extra storage + $10.00/TB extra egress). Change the workload sliders on the comparison page to price your exact scenario.

Fine print worth knowing

One bit of fine print is worth knowing before committing storage here: a monthly floor of $5/mo base incl. 250 GiB applies, so tiny archives pay for capacity they never touch.

Where it shines: 1 TB of monthly outbound traffic comes at no charge; and 250 GB of storage is simply free, commitment or not.
