Object Storage · $20/mo (1000 GB, 1000 GB transfer)
Linode's $20/mo Object Storage plan is competitively priced for 1TB storage with included transfer, but several providers offer lower per-GB rates for storage-only workloads. The real value depends on your transfer patterns: if you stay within the 1TB transfer allowance, Linode is solid; if you exceed it frequently, Azure or Google Cloud's lower egress rates ($0.005/GB vs Linode's $0.005/GB after pooled allowance) may save money at scale.
Storage costs half as much at $0.01/GB/month with no separate base fee, and outbound bandwidth is tiered starting after 100GB free per month.
Caveat: Early-deletion penalties (30-day minimum), retrieval fees, and 128 KiB minimum per object can add up for frequent small-file access patterns.
Matches Azure's $0.01/GB/month storage rate with 200GB free egress per month before per-GB charges kick in.
Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration, $0.01/GB retrieval fee, and sustained-use discounts require careful calculation to realize savings.
Storage at $0.0102/GB/month is nearly identical to Azure/Google, with no separate base fee.
Caveat: Per-GB retrieval fees ($0.0102/GB) and minimum retention period apply; best for write-once, read-rarely workloads.
S3-compatible object storage at $0.01/GB/month with included inbound and outbound traffic (APAC free until end of 2026).
Caveat: Free egress expires in APAC regions mid-2026; pricing reverts to per-GB charges after that date.
