Object Storage · $53.78/mo (5120 GB Object Storage (S3-compatible))
Contabo's 5 TB plan at $53.78/mo is competitively priced for S3-compatible object storage with unlimited traffic and no per-object fees. However, most cloud providers charge per-GB, making them cheaper only if you use significantly less than 5 TB monthly. The real trade-off is Contabo's contract lock-in (24-month prepaid) versus pay-as-you-go flexibility elsewhere.
S3-compatible with included traffic (APAC free until end-2026); you pay only for what you use, no contract lock-in.
Caveat: Billed per GiB-hour (roughly $0.01/GB/month equivalent); after 2026 APAC egress becomes paid; no flat-rate guarantee like Contabo.
Per-GB pricing (~$0.01/GB/month) with 75 GB free egress monthly; S3-compatible and no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris); egress beyond 75 GB costs EUR 0.01/GB; lower SLA (99.9%) than Contabo's implied tier.
Per-GB pricing ($0.010/GB/month) with 200 GiB free egress; pay only for actual usage, no prepaid contract.
Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration and $0.01/GB retrieval fees apply; egress beyond free tier is billed; sustained-use discounts require separate enrollment.
Per-GB pricing ($0.01/GB/month) with no contract; lowest sticker cost if you use less than 5 TB.
Caveat: 128 KiB minimum per object, 30-day early-deletion penalty, and per-GB retrieval fees; 100 GB free egress tier, then tiered overage charges.
