Block Storage · $0.04/mo
Scaleway's snapshot storage at $0.04/GB/mo is competitively priced but not the cheapest. Several providers offer $0.01/GB/mo tiers, though most impose retrieval fees, minimum retention periods, or early-deletion penalties that Scaleway's straightforward per-GB-hour billing avoids. The choice depends on access patterns: if you rarely retrieve snapshots, cheaper cold-storage alternatives win; if you need frequent access, Scaleway's simplicity and lack of retrieval fees may justify the premium.
Lowest sticker price at $0.01/GB/mo for snapshot-like cold blob storage with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Enforces 30-day minimum retention and charges early-deletion fees; retrieval and per-operation costs apply, making it expensive for frequent access or short-lived snapshots.
Matches Azure at $0.01/GB/mo with 30-day minimum and $0.01/GB retrieval fee, suitable for infrequent snapshot access.
Caveat: Retrieval fees and 30-day early-deletion penalty; egress charges beyond 200 GiB/month free tier add up quickly if you restore snapshots frequently.
Nearly identical to Azure/GCP at $0.0102/GB/mo storage plus $0.0102/GB retrieval, with 99.95% SLA.
Caveat: Minimum retention period and per-GB retrieval fees make this costly if snapshots are accessed frequently or deleted before the retention window.
S3-compatible at $0.01/GB/mo with included incoming/outgoing traffic (free egress is a major advantage over competitors).
Caveat: APAC region free egress expires 2026-12-31; no retrieval fees listed but cold-tier variants carry 30-180 day minimums and early-deletion penalties.
