Oracle's Infrequent Access tier is competitively priced at the headline level, but all four alternatives offer similar or identical storage costs with comparable retrieval fees and minimum retention periods. The real differentiator is your access pattern: if you rarely retrieve data, Oracle and Google Cloud are roughly equivalent; if you need included egress, OVHcloud and Scaleway offer better value in their regions.
Identical storage ($0.010/GB/month) and retrieval ($0.01/GB) pricing to Oracle, with 30-day minimum matching Oracle's retention window.
Caveat: Egress to internet is metered and billed above 200 GiB/month free tier; sustained-use discounts require separate enrollment and are easy to miss.
| 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 |
Matches Oracle's headline storage rate with early-deletion penalties only if you delete before 30 days, making it safe for stable workloads.
Caveat: Minimum 128 KiB billing per object inflates costs for many small files; outbound bandwidth charged above 100 GB/month pooled free tier.
Identical pricing but includes incoming and outgoing traffic at no extra charge in APAC regions until end of 2026, delivering real savings if you transfer data frequently.
Caveat: Free egress expires in APAC after mid-2026; billed per GiB-hour rather than per-month, so cost calculation differs.
Matches Oracle's storage cost with 75 GB free egress per month; S3-compatible API reduces vendor lock-in risk.
Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris) limits geographic redundancy; egress beyond 75 GB/month charged at EUR 0.01/GB; lower SLA (99.9% base) than Oracle.
