There's also B2 ( https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html ), which is I think the cheapest of them all. UPDATE: Well, egress is cheaper. B2 is $0.005/GB storage with $0.02/GB egress. But one thing to consider is that B2 storage is located within one single datacenter. (Disclaimer: I am not affiliated, but am in the process of deciding to use B2.)

I did some research myself to decide which storage solution to use for backups and B2 is the cheapest of all, at least for backups. I hope that Backblaze will also offer some kind of redundance option (replicate customer data in 2+ datacenters).

Storage is cheap on any cloud, the network egress is expensive. 1. Wasabi: Storage: $.0039/GB/Month Egress: $.04/GB 2. AWS: Storage: $0.023/GB/Month Egress: $.05-.09/GB (even lower if you're big) Sending data one outside of AWS costs equivalent of 2-4 months of storage.

The benefit of S3 is that traffic is free within the same region. If you're hosting on AWS that alone is going to save you money versus the competitors.

B2 is horribly unstable, has limits left and right and most of all, the latency is horrendous.

You will be better off using any standard OpenStack provider. That way you won't have a lock in, and great performance (in my testing). E.g. OpenStack Swift on OVH.

Sure it's a tiny bit more expensive. But you get a mature cross-provider API and better performance.

Even for huge chunks of cold data, I wouldn't want to use B2.

> Wasabi storage costs a flat $.0039/GB/Month with a 1 TB minimum usage. so the only "catch" is $3.90 a month minimum?

Not only. There is also minimum 90-day charge for objects. https://wasabi.com/pricing/pricing-faqs/

According to that, there is an extra "9" they didn't show, so $3.99 rather than $3.90.

So then if you deleted your 1TB each month, and uploaded new data, you'd be paying 3 times more due to the 90 day minimum charge, so about $12/month in the worst case.
