Cloud Storage · $0.01/mo
Google Cloud Nearline is competitively priced at the headline level, but all listed alternatives carry similar retrieval fees, early-deletion penalties, and hidden egress charges. None offer a clear cost advantage for typical infrequent-access workloads; your total cost will depend heavily on retrieval patterns and data residency.
Identical headline storage rate with 100 GB/month free egress (vs. Google's 200 GiB to certain destinations), and 99.99% SLA vs. Google's standard tier.
Caveat: Minimum 128 KiB per object billing and 30-day early-deletion penalty match Google; retrieval fees and outbound bandwidth above free tier will add up similarly.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Azure | Blob Storage · Cool tier | $0.01/mo | Per GB/month, LRS. Lower storage cost, retrieval and early-deletion fees apply for objects deleted before 30 days. | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Object Storage · Infrequent Access | $0.01/mo | $0.0102 per GB per month + $0.0102 per GB retrieval fee; minimum storage retention period applies | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Block Volume Storage · Balanced (10 VPU/GB, default) |
Matching storage rate with included incoming/outgoing traffic (until 2026-12-31 in APAC), eliminating the egress surprise that often inflates Google bills.
Caveat: Free egress expires regionally after mid-2026; S3-compatible API may require migration effort; SLA is 99.99% but region-dependent.
Functionally equivalent to Google Nearline with per-GB retrieval fees and minimum retention; 99.95% SLA is slightly lower but pricing is transparent.
Caveat: Retrieval fee of $0.0102/GB matches storage cost, making frequent access expensive; no egress allowance advantage over Google.
Matching storage rate with 75 GB free egress per month and lower SLA (99.9%) for cost-conscious, non-critical workloads.
Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris region) limits geographic redundancy; egress above 75 GB costs EUR 0.01/GB; lower SLA may not suit production use.
