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
Sirv
Pros
- + On-the-fly image transformation from URL parameters — no build-time processing pipeline to maintain
- + 360° spin and deep zoom are first-class, not add-ons, which is what product photography actually needs
- + Generous free tier with S3 and FTP access, so originals stay portable
- + Soft limits instead of hard cutoffs — a traffic spike does not break the site
- + Long track record (since 2007) and a 99.999% SLA on Enterprise
Cons
- - 20 GB transfer on the $19 Business plan is thin for media-heavy stores; scale pricing needs a custom conversation
- - No published uptime commitment below Enterprise — failover and off-site replication are $999/month features
- - Video delivery is a secondary feature, not competitive with dedicated video platforms
- - Small vendor (roughly a dozen staff, unfunded) — weigh continuity risk and keep originals exported
