Is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Archive the best deal?

Object Storage · $0/mo

Best in class

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Archive Storage is competitively priced at $0.0026/GB/month for long-term cold storage. No equivalent alternatives were found in the pre-filtered results, and the Archive tier remains one of the lowest-cost options in the market for infrequent-access data, though the 90-day minimum retention and early-deletion charges create real lock-in costs.

Before you switch

Verify your actual retrieval frequency and timing - the hours-long restore window may not suit your use case
Calculate total cost including the 90-day minimum retention penalty if you anticipate early deletions
Confirm whether the per-GB retrieval fee for Archive restores fits your budget (not specified in the tier description)
Compare against AWS Glacier Deep Archive ($0.00099/GB/month) and Azure Archive ($0.00099/GB/month) if you have flexibility to multi-cloud
Review OCI's early-deletion charge schedule in detail - it can significantly exceed the storage savings on short-lived archives
