Object Storage · $0.01/mo
OVHcloud's Standard SWIFT Object Storage is competitively priced at $0.01/mo with included traffic, matching Azure and Google Cloud's entry-level tiers. However, all three share similar hidden-cost structures around retrieval fees, minimum storage durations, and early-deletion penalties. The real differentiator is your access pattern: if you rarely retrieve data, OVHcloud's legacy SWIFT API and included egress make it a solid choice; if you need frequent access or multi-region failover, Azure or Google Cloud's ecosystem integration may justify their comparable pricing.
Matches OVHcloud's $0.01/mo base price with 75 GB free egress per month, simpler pricing model, and no minimum storage duration penalties.
Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris region only) limits redundancy; egress beyond 75 GB costs EUR 0.01/GB; lower SLA (99.9%) than OVHcloud's implied tier.
| 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 |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Object Storage · Infrequent Access | $0.01/mo |
Identical $0.01/mo base rate with 100 GB free outbound bandwidth per month (vs. OVHcloud's included traffic) and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration and early-deletion penalties; 128 KiB minimum per object; retrieval fees apply; outbound bandwidth billed above 100 GB/month.
Matches $0.01/mo base with 200 GiB free egress per month (highest free tier) and 99.99% SLA; strong for infrequent access workloads.
Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration; $0.01/GB retrieval fee; sustained-use discounts require careful modeling; egress pricing rises steeply beyond free tier.
Matches $0.01/mo base with per-GB retrieval fees ($0.0102/GB) that are transparent upfront, and 99.95% SLA.
Caveat: Minimum retention period enforced; retrieval fees add up quickly on frequent access; lower SLA than Azure/Google Cloud.
