Object Storage · $5.38/mo (500 GB Object Storage (S3-compatible))
Contabo's $5.38/mo for 500 GB S3-compatible object storage with unlimited traffic is competitively priced for straightforward, high-volume use cases. However, several providers offer lower per-GB rates if you need less storage or are willing to accept retrieval fees and minimum retention periods.
S3-compatible with included incoming/outgoing traffic (APAC free until end-2026), matching Contabo's unlimited-traffic model at near-zero base cost for small workloads.
Caveat: Billed per GiB/hour (not monthly flat rate), so actual cost scales with usage; outbound traffic loses free status in APAC after mid-2026.
At 500 GB, costs ~$5.12/mo ($0.01/GB storage + $0.01/GB retrieval if accessed), slightly cheaper than Contabo with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Retrieval fees ($0.01/GB) and 30-day minimum storage duration apply; egress beyond 200 GiB/month is billed separately; easy to miss sustained-use discounts.
At 500 GB, costs ~$5.12/mo ($0.01/GB storage + retrieval/early-deletion fees), matching Google Cloud pricing with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Early-deletion penalties (90-day minimum), per-object 128 KiB minimum billing, and outbound bandwidth charges above 100 GB/month free tier.
At 500 GB, costs ~$10.2/mo ($0.0102/GB storage + $0.0102/GB retrieval), but offers 99.95% SLA and per-GB retrieval fees only on actual access.
Caveat: Minimum retention period enforced; retrieval fees double the effective cost if data is accessed frequently; more expensive than Contabo for this use case.
