Is OVHcloud's Standard the best deal?

Object Storage · $0.01/mo

Competitively priced

OVHcloud Object Storage Standard is competitively priced at $0.01/mo with included APAC traffic until end-2026, but Azure Cool tier and Google Cloud Nearline offer similar base rates with different trade-offs. The real differentiator is OVHcloud's free egress window in APAC—after that expires, outbound costs will materialize and erode the advantage.

Blob Storage Cool tier

$0.01/mo

Identical $0.01/mo base rate with per-GB/month billing; 100 GB/month free outbound bandwidth pooled across all services reduces egress surprise.

Caveat: Early-deletion penalties (90-day minimum) and 128 KiB minimum per object can inflate costs for small or short-lived objects; retrieval fees apply.

Cloud Storage Nearline storage

$0.01/mo

Matches $0.01/mo base rate; 200 GB/month free egress to internet (higher than Azure) and no per-object minimum size penalty.

Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration and $0.01/GB retrieval fees; sustained-use discounts are easy to miss and require separate commitment.

Object Storage Standard One Zone

$0.01/mo

Matches $0.01/mo base rate with 75 GB free egress per month; single-zone simplicity and no retrieval fees for standard tier.

Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris region) limits geographic redundancy; EUR 0.01/GB egress overage is higher than Azure/Google after free tier exhausted.

Before you switch

OVHcloud APAC free egress expires 2026-06-01 to 2026-12-31 depending on product—budget for outbound costs after that window closes.
Verify your actual retrieval patterns: if you frequently access objects, Google Cloud and Azure retrieval fees ($0.01/GB and variable) will add up quickly versus OVHcloud's included retrieval.
Confirm whether you need multi-region redundancy; OVHcloud Standard and Scaleway One Zone are single-region, while Azure LRS and Google Cloud default to multi-zone within a region.
Check early-deletion risk: all alternatives impose 30-90 day minimums with penalties, so short-lived test data will incur unexpected charges.
OVHcloud's Infrequent Access / Cold Archive tiers have 30-180 day minimums and retrieval fees—do not assume 'Standard' tier avoids these if you later downgrade.
