Volumes · $0.08/mo (1 GB NVMe)
Fly.io's snapshot storage is competitively priced at $0.08/GB with 10GB free, matching or beating most cloud providers on raw storage cost. However, several alternatives offer comparable or lower per-GB rates with fewer hidden charges, particularly if you avoid early-deletion penalties and retrieval fees.
Lowest per-GB storage rate at $0.01/GB/month, significantly undercutting Fly.io's $0.08/GB for snapshot storage.
Caveat: Cool tier enforces 30-day minimum retention and charges retrieval fees plus early-deletion penalties if objects are deleted sooner, making it unsuitable for frequently-rotated snapshots.
Matches Azure at $0.01/GB/month base rate with 30-day minimum storage duration and $0.01/GB retrieval fees.
Caveat: Retrieval fees and early-deletion penalties apply; sustained-use discounts are easy to miss and require separate enrollment.
Nearly identical to Google Cloud at $0.0102/GB/month plus $0.0102/GB retrieval fee, with minimum retention period.
Caveat: Retrieval fees and minimum retention period make this best for cold/archival snapshots, not active working sets.
Half Fly.io's price at $0.04/GB/month for snapshot storage with no retrieval fees or minimum retention.
Caveat: Snapshot storage is billed per GB-hour (not per-month flat rate), and egress beyond 75GB/month incurs EUR 0.01/GB charges.
S3-compatible object storage at $0.01/GB/month with included incoming/outgoing traffic (APAC free until end-2026).
Caveat: APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; Infrequent Access tier adds retrieval fees and 30-180 day minimums.
