Bunny Storage
Pros
- + Free delivery into Bunny CDN, free API egress, and zero request fees — the opposite of hyperscaler billing
- + Simple pricing: $0.01/GB per region Standard (HDD), $0.02/GB Edge (SSD), $1 monthly minimum
- + 15 storage regions with automatic replication and region failover; 99.99% availability SLA
- + S3-compatible API (rclone, presigned URLs, SHA256 checksums) plus HTTP API, FTP/SFTP, and web file manager
- + One-click integration as origin for Bunny pull zones, with Perma-Cache for permanent edge storage
Cons
- - S3 compatibility is in public preview and must be enabled per zone at creation — not a finished S3 platform
- - No cold/archive tier: backup-style retention pays full Standard or Edge rates
- - Edge SSD tier's primary region is Frankfurt only; Standard zones can be created in any region
- - Free egress is scoped to Bunny CDN — neutral multi-cloud storage architectures will feel constrained
- - Unverified claim in the old listing: object versioning and CORS specifics were not documented on reviewed pages
Cloudflare R2
Pros
- + Zero egress fees on all storage classes — no data transfer bill at all
- + Standing free tier: 10 GB-month storage, 1M Class A and 10M Class B ops monthly
- + S3-compatible API works with existing SDKs and migration tooling
- + Published durability (11 nines) and a 99.9% monthly uptime SLA with credits
- + Binds directly to Workers, Pages and public buckets with no cross-product egress
Cons
- - S3 feature surface is thinner — no replication topology, simpler lifecycle tooling
- - Class A operations at $4.50/million make write-heavy workloads pricier than storage-only math
- - Infrequent Access has a 30-day minimum storage duration and retrieval fees
- - Real lock-in sits in Workers-based processing around buckets, not the storage itself
- - Not suited to analytics-style scans or small-object high-churn data
