B2 is great as a backup store. I use it for backup. I wouldn't use it for non backup object storage, as it's in a single data center. S3 and Google Cloud are completely different, I'm not sure on the Google specifics but S3 has data replicated across three AZs.
GCS has multi-AZ replication, but also multi-region (at a premium).

Isn't backing up the last place where you want zero redundancy?
This is great, but I’m disappointed Backblaze B2 isn’t included. That seems like an oversight unless someone can point out how B2 doesn’t hold its own with these options in a glaring way. There are tradeoffs, but B2 seems to be very competitive overall. B2 is cheaper than every option here for both storage ($0.005/GB) and egress ($0.01/GB).[1] Their transaction pricing is also cheaper.[2] Despite being cheaper, it’s…
transfer costs and latency makes it unusable for anything interesting.
Shameless Plug :) I wrote recently a series of articles comparing most of those providers and explaining how to use them with JavaScript: - Amazon S3: https://medium.com/@javidgon/amazon-s3-pros-cons-and-how-to-... - Google Cloud Storage: https://medium.com/@javidgon/google-cloud-storage-pros-cons-... - Microsoft Azure Blob Storage: https://medium.com/@javidgon/microsoft-azure-blob-storage-pr... - Backblaze B2: https…
trying comparing performance: latency, bandwidth up/down and scalability in the face of many concurrent requests. And then do that wrt. compute resources in various locations.
Cool site, but noticing an error: This compares AWS S3 single region pricing ($0.024/gb) to GCP GCS multi-region pricing ($0.026/gb) rather than GCP GCS single region pricing ($0.020/gb). Hopefully the creator/author will correct the discrepancy... Disclosure: I'm a pricing dweeb at Google Cloud
I work for a company that has to provision hosted products for customers across all the clouds and the one that has been impressing me the most lately is Azure. The load balancers are also the gateways (sound network topology), so there is no need for elastic IPs, NAT Gateways, or proxy protocol. The other thing I like about Azure is they have storage classes that automatically cross region replicate. The automatic s…

(*) for a particular use case. The example is 200GB storage with 2000GB data transfer (out) every month. That's a LOT of data going out every month, so I am guessing the scenario is if you are hosting a photo library and lots of people are downloading every month. If however you are just using the service as an online storage to hold Not knocking either service - I actually use both, for different use cases.
But what's the use-case for uploading 100 gb a month, and then... Not deleting it (keep paying for storage) and not accessing it?

A little unfinished, but https://storagestatistics.com includes backblaze and others
I'd also add - unless you are going to include a median/mean latency number many options will look absurdly good even though we know they're a horrible idea, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GmailFS. I also think "unknown" availability looks a lot like a durability issue..
