Storage Gateways · $20/mo
Vultr's Highly Available Storage Gateway at $20/mo is a premium managed offering, but several cloud providers offer significantly cheaper raw storage with comparable or better redundancy and SLA. The best value depends on your retrieval frequency and whether you need managed gateway features or can work with native object/block storage APIs.
Lowest per-GB storage cost at $0.01/mo with 99.99% SLA and LRS redundancy; scales from pennies for small workloads.
Caveat: Early-deletion penalties (30-day minimum) and per-GB retrieval fees apply; Windows license surcharge if using VMs alongside storage.
| 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 |
Matches Azure's $0.01/GB/mo base rate with 99.99% SLA and 30-day minimum storage duration; 200 GiB/month egress free tier.
Caveat: Per-GB retrieval fees ($0.01/GB) and egress charges beyond free tier; sustained-use discounts require separate enrollment.
Competitive $0.0102/GB/mo storage with retrieval fees; 99.95% SLA and minimum retention period for cost control.
Caveat: Per-GB retrieval fee ($0.0102/GB) and 90-day early-deletion penalty; slightly lower SLA than Azure/Google.
S3-compatible object storage at $0.01/mo with included incoming/outgoing traffic (APAC free until end-2026); 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: APAC free egress expires mid-2026; Windows license surcharge if using instances; infrequent-access tiers carry retrieval fees and minimums.
Lowest-cost entry point at $0.01/mo per GB with 75 GB free egress per month; single-zone simplicity.
Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris) vs Vultr's redundant connectivity; egress beyond 75 GB costs EUR 0.01/GB; 99.9-99.99% SLA depending on tier.
