What it costs at a typical backup workload

5 TB stored · 0.5 TB egress · light API usage: $25.00/mo (Egress within 3× stored volume — $0 egress). Change the workload sliders on the comparison page to price your exact scenario.

Fine print worth knowing

Egress cap 3×/mo: Free egress is capped at 3× stored volume per month; beyond it, every GiB bills at the metered rate — heavy self-hosted use or a traffic spike can multiply the bill

Upsides: free egress tier, no minimum, 10 gb free storage.
