Is DigitalOcean's Weekly (percentage-based) the best deal?

Backups · $0/mo

Best in class

DigitalOcean's weekly backup tier is competitively priced at 20% of Droplet cost with no base fee, and no comparable alternatives were found in the market. The percentage-based model aligns your backup cost with your compute spend, which is transparent and scalable.

Before you switch

Verify bandwidth overage rates ($0.01/GB) apply only to traffic beyond your Droplet's pooled allowance; confirm your typical usage pattern to estimate true monthly cost
Confirm 4-week retention window meets your compliance and disaster-recovery requirements; some workloads may need longer retention
Check whether you need more frequent backups (daily or hourly) for your use case; weekly may not be sufficient for high-change data
Review DigitalOcean's backup restore process and RTO/RPO guarantees to ensure they match your SLA needs
