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 + $5.00/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 GB + 1 TB egress applies, so tiny archives pay for capacity they never touch.
Where it shines: 1 TB of monthly outbound traffic comes at no charge.
