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 real differentiator is whether you need Oracle's specific performance guarantees (20 VPU/GB) or can tolerate retrieval fees and minimum retention periods on cheaper tiers elsewhere.
Matches Oracle's $0.01/GB base rate with 30-day minimum retention and $0.01/GB retrieval fee, making it suitable if your workload tolerates occasional access delays.
Caveat: Egress bandwidth billed separately above 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 ($0.01/GB) with 30-day early-deletion minimum and per-GB retrieval fees; strong SLA match (99.99%).
Caveat: Premium SSD/Ultra Disk IOPS billed separately; outbound bandwidth charged above 100 GB/month pooled free tier.
Matches $0.01/GB with included incoming/outgoing traffic in APAC regions (free until end of 2026), eliminating egress surprises.
Caveat: APAC free-egress window expires 2026-06-01 to 2026-12-31 depending on region; S3-compatible API differs from Oracle's native block interface.
Cheapest base rate ($0.01/GB equivalent) with 75 GB free egress per month; simple per-GB-hour billing model.
Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris region only); egress charged EUR 0.01/GB after 75 GB free tier; Glacier restoration fees apply to cold tiers.
