Block Storage · $1/mo (10 GB)
Vultr's NVMe 10GB block storage at $1/mo is competitively priced for small-scale NVMe needs, but several cheaper object-storage alternatives exist if your use case permits cold/infrequent access tiers. For active block storage at this capacity, Vultr remains a solid choice, though bandwidth overages and data-center-specific rates warrant verification.
At $0.01/GB/month, 10GB costs only $0.10/mo, vastly cheaper than Vultr's $1/mo for equivalent capacity.
Caveat: Cool tier imposes 30-day minimum retention, early-deletion fees, and per-operation retrieval charges; unsuitable for frequently accessed or short-lived data.
| 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 |
Nearline at $0.01/GB/month ($0.10 for 10GB) matches Azure's cost and includes 30-day minimum storage duration.
Caveat: Retrieval fees ($0.01/GB) and egress charges apply; 30-day minimum storage duration locks in commitment; best for infrequent access patterns.
Infrequent Access tier at $0.0102/GB/month ($0.10 for 10GB) undercuts Vultr significantly for cold-storage workloads.
Caveat: Per-GB retrieval fees ($0.0102/GB) and minimum retention period apply; performance SLA is 99.95% vs Vultr's implicit tier; not suitable for hot data.
At $0.05/GB/month, 10GB costs $0.50/mo, half Vultr's price, with 500+ IOPS and hourly granularity.
Caveat: Billed per GB-hour (not flat-rate), so actual monthly cost depends on usage pattern; Windows licensing and IPv4 surcharges apply separately; SLA is 99.99%.
NVMe SSD at $0.05/GB/month ($0.50 for 10GB) matches OVHcloud's price with up to 20,000 IOPS included and no IOPS surcharge.
Caveat: Billed by the minute; Windows/SQL Server licensing surcharges hidden until checkout; bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB past pooled allowance; SLA is 99.95%.
