Blob Storage · $0.01/mo
Azure Cool Blob Storage is competitively priced at $0.01/GB/month, but Google Cloud Nearline and OVHcloud Object Storage offer comparable or slightly better value when factoring in retrieval fees and egress policies. Oracle's offerings are more expensive due to per-GB retrieval charges. The choice depends heavily on your retrieval frequency and egress patterns.
Identical storage rate ($0.01/GB/month) with 30-day minimum matching Azure's 30-day early-deletion window, plus 200 GiB/month free egress to certain destinations.
Caveat: Retrieval fees ($0.01/GB) apply; sustained-use discounts require careful tracking to realize savings vs. flat-rate competitors.
Matches Azure's $0.01/GB/month rate with S3 compatibility and included incoming/outgoing traffic (APAC free until end of 2026), reducing surprise egress bills.
Caveat: Free egress window expires mid-2026 in APAC regions; Windows licensing surcharge applies if using Windows instances alongside storage.
Competitive $0.01/GB/month pricing with 75 GB/month free egress; single-zone option suitable for non-critical workloads.
Caveat: Paris region only; Glacier restoration fees (EUR 0.009/GB) apply if you later move to cold tier; lower baseline SLA (99.9%) vs. Azure's implied tier.
Marginally higher storage rate ($0.0102/GB/month) but includes per-GB retrieval fees ($0.0102/GB), making it more expensive for any retrieval workload.
Caveat: Minimum retention period enforced; retrieval fees compound costs significantly if you access data frequently.
