Block Storage · $1024/mo (10240 GB SSD)
Linode's Block Storage at $0.10/GB/mo is significantly overpriced compared to cloud object and block storage alternatives. Azure Blob Cool, Google Cloud Nearline, and Oracle Object Storage all offer 10x cheaper base rates ($0.01/GB/mo), though retrieval fees and minimum retention periods apply for infrequent access patterns. For active, frequently-accessed storage, the gap is even more dramatic.
At $0.01/GB/mo, storing 10TB costs just $102.40 versus Linode's $1024, a 10x reduction in base storage cost.
Caveat: Cool tier imposes 30-day minimum retention and early-deletion penalties; retrieval fees ($0.01/GB) apply if you need frequent access, which could offset savings for active workloads.
| 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 |
| Google Cloud | Cloud Storage · Nearline storage | $0.01/mo | $0.010/GB/month, 30-day minimum storage duration, $0.01/GB retrieval fee | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Object Storage · Infrequent Access | $0.01/mo |
Nearline storage at $0.01/GB/mo matches Azure's base rate, delivering the same 10x cost reduction for 10TB capacity.
Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration and $0.01/GB retrieval fees apply; egress beyond 200 GiB/month free tier is billed per-GB, and sustained-use discounts require careful configuration to realize.
Infrequent Access tier at $0.0102/GB/mo is virtually identical to Azure and Google Cloud, cutting Linode's cost by 90%.
Caveat: Retrieval fees ($0.0102/GB) and minimum retention periods apply; if your workload requires frequent reads, total cost of ownership may be higher than the base rate suggests.
S3-compatible Object Storage at $0.01/GB/mo with included inbound/outbound traffic (in APAC until 2026-12-31) matches the tier-one alternatives.
Caveat: APAC free-egress status expires mid-2026; outbound traffic will be billed at standard rates afterward, and Object Storage cold tiers carry retrieval fees and early-deletion penalties.
At $0.05/GB/mo, Kamatera's NVMe block storage is half Linode's price and includes up to 20,000 IOPS with no surcharge.
Caveat: Windows/SQL Server licensing adds undisclosed per-server surcharges only revealed at checkout; bandwidth overage is $0.01/GB past pooled allowance, and powered-off servers may continue accruing charges.
