Object Storage · $5/mo
AWS Lightsail's $5/mo 250 GB bundle is reasonably priced for bundled storage + transfer, but the real cost depends heavily on your region and transfer patterns. Several providers offer lower per-GB storage rates, though they typically charge separately for retrieval and have minimum retention periods that could add up if you access data frequently.
250 GB at $0.010/GB/month = $2.50/mo base, with 200 GB free egress per month matching Lightsail's 500 GB transfer allowance proportionally.
Caveat: Retrieval fees ($0.01/GB) and 30-day minimum storage duration apply; total cost rises if you access data frequently or delete within 30 days.
250 GB at $0.01/GB/month = $2.50/mo base, with 100 GB free outbound bandwidth per month included.
Caveat: Early-deletion penalty (30-day minimum), retrieval fees, and 128 KiB minimum per object; overage bandwidth billed above 100 GB/month; total cost climbs if you retrieve or delete frequently.
250 GB at $0.0102/GB/month storage + retrieval fees; lower base cost than Lightsail if transfer stays light.
Caveat: Per-GB retrieval fee ($0.0102/GB) and minimum retention period apply; total cost exceeds Lightsail quickly if you retrieve data regularly.
S3-compatible with included incoming/outgoing traffic (APAC free until end-2026); 250 GB at ~$0.01/GB/month equivalent.
Caveat: Pricing is per GiB/hour (not per-month flat rate); APAC free egress expires mid-2026; other regions may lose free egress sooner.
250 GB at ~$0.01/GB/month equivalent with 75 GB free egress per month; Paris region single-zone option.
Caveat: Egress beyond 75 GB/month billed at EUR 0.01/GB; single availability zone (lower redundancy); SLA 99.9-99.99% depending on tier.
