STRG: pricing, billing rules and regional availability
🏆 Gold Standard no egress fees, no action fees, 0-day minimum retention. That is why this row carries the marker on the full comparison table.
An S3-compatible object store billed in USD. Every number below comes from the same catalog that drives the live comparison table: no marketing prose, captured rates only.
Where STRG fits, and where it does not
- S3 API workloads, which can move here without rewriting their client code
- read-heavy serving, because outbound traffic is $0/TB with no ratio cap attached to it
- short-lived data and churning datasets, with no minimum retention floor to pay for
- capacity-heavy archives, at $6.80/TB stored per month
- request-dense applications such as small-object stores, since Class A and Class B operations are free here
- immutable archive and ransomware resistance, since Object Lock is available on this row
Where a different provider fits better
- contractual uptime commitments: this row publishes no availability SLA, so a credit for downtime is not something you can claim here
Reference bill: 5 TB stored, 0.5 TB egress per month
5 TB stored · 0.5 TB egress · light API usage: $33.93/mo (Egress is free). Change the workload sliders on the comparison page to price your exact scenario.
Billing rules and minimum commitments
What the price includes: outbound traffic is genuinely free worldwide, so serving files to customers costs nothing beyond the storage itself; there is no minimum spend or storage floor. The bill tracks actual usage exactly; and 10 GB of storage is simply free, commitment or not.
STRG pricing questions
- What does STRG charge per terabyte?
- STRG stores data at $6.80 per TB per month in USD terms, captured 2026-11-09. There is no flat base plan on this row. There is no monthly spend floor on this row.
- Is egress free on STRG?
- Yes, at the published list price: outbound traffic is $0 per TB with no ratio cap written into the policy, so serving files to users adds nothing to the storage bill. Cached bandwidth partners can still matter for latency, but not for cost.
- What retention floor and minimum commitment does STRG impose?
- There is no minimum retention floor on this row: delete an object and the charge stops. There is no monthly spend floor on this row.
- Does STRG expose an S3-compatible API?
- Yes. Its S3-compatible API means existing S3 clients, SDKs and migration scripts work unchanged. Beyond the API: S3-compatible API with $0 standard request fees; MCP server at mcp.strg.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP) for AI agents, authenticated through OAuth with customer-scoped, revocable access keys (probe-verified: the endpoint answers 401 with WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="OAuth", and strg.com/ai documents the OAuth connection flow); per-bucket region choice with optional cross-region replication.
- What durability and availability does STRG promise?
- STRG publishes 99.999999999% designed (11 9s) durability, which is the probability that a stored object survives the storage engine's own failures, and no availability SLA is published for it. These are different promises, and the table's columns keep them apart.
- How does STRG compare on a 5 TB backup workload?
- Storing 5 TB with 0.5 TB of monthly egress and light API usage bills $33.93/month here. On the same workload Hetzner Storage Box bills $11.60/month, and this row places 5 of 27 ranked providers. 4 catalogued providers are cheaper at this shape, so pick this row for its policy terms rather than its headline rate.
