Object Storage · $0.01/mo
Scaleway's Standard One Zone Object Storage is competitively priced at $0.01/GB/month, but several alternatives offer similar base rates with different trade-offs. The choice depends heavily on your egress patterns, retrieval frequency, and regional needs rather than storage cost alone.
Matches Scaleway's $0.01/GB/month base rate and includes all incoming/outgoing traffic at no extra charge (a major advantage if you have significant egress).
Caveat: APAC region free egress expires after mid-2026; Windows licensing adds $0.039/vCore/hour; billed per GiB/hour rather than per-month, so reconciliation may differ slightly.
| 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/GB/month base rate with 200 GiB/month free egress (vs Scaleway's 75 GB), and no per-retrieval fee if you stay within the free tier.
Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration enforced; retrieval fees ($0.01/GB) apply after free tier; sustained-use discounts require separate enrollment and are easy to miss.
Matches $0.01/GB/month with 100 GiB/month free outbound bandwidth (better than Scaleway's 75 GB) and no per-retrieval fee for standard access patterns.
Caveat: Early-deletion penalties (30-day minimum); 128 KiB minimum billing per object; retrieval and transaction fees apply; Windows VMs carry license surcharge.
Nearly identical at $0.0102/GB/month storage plus $0.0102/GB retrieval; competitive if your access pattern is truly infrequent.
Caveat: Minimum retention period enforced; per-GB retrieval fees ($0.0102) make this more expensive than Scaleway if you retrieve frequently; SLA is 99.95% vs Scaleway's implied 99.99%.
