List prices in USD before tax and discounts. Each vendor is priced on its cheapest plan that lists a rate for every line, and the vendor's own region and tier assumptions apply (see each vendor page). "From" means some lines have no listed price, so the real bill is higher.

How to choose
How to choose object storage on price
Egress can outweigh storage
Serving files to users is billed per GB on most clouds. A bucket that is read a lot can cost more in egress than in storage.
Operations add up
Writes and reads are billed per thousand or per million. Many small files mean many operations.
Bundles cap out
Bundled plans include a set amount of storage and transfer, then bill overage. Check where your usage lands.
FAQ
Object storage pricing questions
Which object storage vendor is cheapest?
For 500 GB stored, 1 TB downloaded and 1M writes a month, Cloudflare comes out lowest at about $7.35 a month on list prices, and Google Cloud highest at about $122.88, checked 2026-10-25. A different workload can change the order, so enter your own numbers in the estimator.
How is the estimate worked out?
Each vendor is priced on its cheapest plan that lists a rate for every line of the workload: the plan fee plus each usage line, after any free or included amount. A plan's monthly minimum counts as a floor. Volume tiers are applied in order. Taxes, discounts and committed-use deals are left out.
How current are these prices?
Every rate was read off the vendor's own pricing page on 2026-10-25 and links to it. Prices change often: check the vendor's page before you commit, and tell us if a number here is out of date.
