Is Vultr's Standard 1TB the best deal?

At 1 TB stored, you pay ~$10.24/month (1024 GB * $0.01/GB) plus retrieval fees only on access, beating Vultr's $18 if your data is infrequently read.

Caveat: Retrieval costs $0.01/GB and egress beyond 200 GiB/month free tier is billed separately; 30-day minimum storage duration enforced.

Cool tier storage is $0.01/GB/month (~$10.24 for 1 TB), with retrieval and early-deletion fees only if you access or delete within 30 days.

Caveat: Outbound bandwidth billed above 100 GB/month pooled free tier; 30-day minimum storage duration and early-deletion penalties apply.

Infrequent Access tier costs ~$10.45/month for 1 TB storage ($0.0102/GB) plus per-GB retrieval fees, undercutting Vultr if reads are sparse.

Caveat: Per-GB retrieval fee ($0.0102/GB) and minimum retention period apply; SLA is 99.95% vs Vultr's implicit standard.

S3-compatible object storage billed per GiB/hour with included incoming/outgoing traffic (APAC free until end 2026), potentially much cheaper than Vultr's $18 if you use egress heavily.

Caveat: Pricing is per GiB/hour (not per-month flat rate), so exact monthly cost depends on storage duration; APAC free egress expires mid-2026.

Per-GB/month pricing in Paris region with 75 GB free egress per month, significantly cheaper than Vultr if you tolerate single-zone redundancy.

Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris only); egress beyond 75 GB/month costs EUR 0.01/GB; SLA is 99.9% (lower than Vultr's typical 99.99%).
