Block Volume Storage · $0.02/mo
Oracle's Block Volume Higher Performance tier is competitively priced at the headline level, but all four alternatives offer identical or lower base storage costs ($0.01/mo vs $0.02/mo) with comparable hidden-cost structures. The choice depends on your workload's retrieval patterns, egress needs, and whether you're already committed to an ecosystem.
Matches Oracle's performance tier cost at half the base price, with 30-day minimum retention and $0.01/GB retrieval fees that align with Oracle's VPU billing model.
Caveat: Egress to internet is metered beyond 200 GiB/month free tier; sustained-use discounts require careful calculation to compare fairly.
| 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 |
| OVHcloud | Object Storage · Standard | $0.01/mo |
50% cheaper base rate with LRS redundancy; early-deletion penalties (30 days) and per-GB retrieval fees mirror Oracle's hidden VPU costs.
Caveat: Premium SSD/Ultra Disk IOPS billed separately; outbound bandwidth charged above 100 GB/month pooled free tier.
Matches competitors at $0.01/mo with S3 compatibility; incoming and outgoing traffic included in APAC regions through end of 2026.
Caveat: APAC free-egress benefit expires mid-2026; Infrequent Access and Cold Archive tiers carry 30-180 day minimums and retrieval fees.
Lowest headline cost at $0.01/mo with 75 GB free egress per month; single-zone trade-off acceptable for non-critical workloads.
Caveat: Paris region only; egress beyond 75 GB/month charged at EUR 0.01/GB; Glacier restoration fees apply to cold tier.
