Block Storage · $0.09/mo
Scaleway Block Storage 5K is competitively priced at $0.09/GB/mo with 5,000 IOPS included. Several providers offer lower base rates ($0.01-0.05/GB/mo), but most impose retrieval fees, minimum retention periods, or separate IOPS charges that erode savings for active workloads. For sustained block storage with predictable IOPS, Scaleway's all-in pricing is reasonable, though Kamatera and OVHcloud offer lower per-GB rates if IOPS headroom and retrieval costs are not concerns.
NVMe SSD with up to 20,000 IOPS included at $0.05/GB/mo, significantly undercutting Scaleway's $0.09/GB/mo for equivalent or better performance.
Caveat: Windows/SQL licensing surcharges are hidden until checkout; powered-off servers continue to accrue charges; billed by the minute, so partial-month usage patterns may differ.
| 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 |
Classic tier at $0.05/GB/mo with 500+ IOPS from the start, half Scaleway's price with transparent per-GB/hour billing.
Caveat: Lower IOPS floor (500 vs 5,000) may not suit high-throughput workloads; Windows license surcharge applies; billed per GB/hour with 1 GB granularity.
HDD-based block storage at $0.05/GB/mo with 1,100 static IOPS and 200 MB/s throughput, matching OVHcloud's price point.
Caveat: HDD performance is significantly lower than Scaleway's SSD tier; renewal pricing after promotional periods can be 2-6x higher; outbound bandwidth overage at $0.036/GB after 2 TB free.
NVMe snapshot storage at $0.08/GB/mo with 10 GB free per month, slightly cheaper than Scaleway and includes snapshot capability.
Caveat: Pricing varies by region (Amsterdam base rate shown); stopped machines still incur $0.15/GB/mo rootfs charge; cross-region traffic billed separately at up to $0.12/GB; no published platform SLA.
