Amazon S3
Pros
- + Designed for 11 nines durability with cross-AZ replication by default and strong read-after-write consistency
- + The S3 API is the industry standard — code written in 2006 still works, and third-party compatibility is everywhere
- + 23x cost ladder from Standard down to Glacier Deep Archive at $0.00099/GB-month, with lifecycle automation
- + Deepest storage feature set available: versioning, Object Lock, replication, inventory, event notifications, access management
Cons
- - Egress at $0.09/GB and per-request pricing produce surprise bills for chatty or restore-heavy workloads
- - IA and Glacier classes add retrieval fees and latency — the restore path must be priced separately
- - Policy configuration (bucket policies, IAM, Block Public Access, KMS keys) is complex and historically error-prone
- - SLA (99.9%/99.0%) is far below the durability figure — availability and durability are different promises
Bunny.net
Pros
- + Among the cheapest delivery rates on the market: $0.01/GB in Europe/North America with no request fees
- + A written 99.99% SLA with a published outage-credit schedule — rare at this price tier
- + S3-compatible storage with free delivery to Bunny CDN, free API egress, and no request charges
- + Perma-Cache, SafeHop origin retries, edge rules, free Let's Encrypt SSL, and DDoS mitigation included
- + Clear region-based pricing, overcharge protection, and payment by card, PayPal, or crypto
Cons
- - Regional bandwidth multipliers (up to 6x for Middle East/Africa) can triple costs for skewed audiences
- - Lean support organization — no named TAMs or enterprise support tiers on standard plans
- - Shallower storage tooling than S3: no cold tier, limited lifecycle automation, replication capped by region count
- - Smaller ecosystem and third-party integration surface than CloudFront, Cloudflare, or Fastly
