Filebase
Pros
- + Genuine S3 API compatibility (SigV4, AWS SDKs) — migrate in and out without re-architecting
- + Excellent price story: $0.015 per GB-month, free object egress on paid plans with no cap, free inbound and deletes
- + Straightforward plans: free 5 GB tier without a credit card, Pro at $7.50/month for 500 GB
- + IPFS integration done for you: pinning, per-bucket CIDs, gateways, IPNS names and static sites
- + Billing documentation is unusually explicit about what is metered and what is not
Cons
- - Vendor-stated 99% uptime and no public SLA — a procurement problem for regulated workloads
- - Very small company (single-digit headcount) running production storage infrastructure
- - IPFS bandwidth is billed separately: gateway, bitswap and Sites traffic can surprise you
- - No published datacenter locations or data residency guarantees
- - Limited platform beyond storage: no compute, no databases; older pages still describe tiers that no longer exist
OVHcloud Object Storage
Pros
- + Free egress and free API requests on Standard storage — rare among S3 providers
- + Volume-tiered pricing from €0.014/GB/month, billed per GiB-hour
- + Cold Archive at about €0.00128/GB/month for French-resident archives
- + 13 regions across Europe, Canada and Asia-Pacific with clear per-region endpoints
- + Five storage classes with documented class-to-region availability
Cons
- - No US region — North America is served from Canada
- - Cold Archive is Paris-only with 180-day minimum retention and €0.005/GB restores
- - Most regions are 1-AZ; multi-region redundancy must be designed by the user
- - S3 compatibility is not full AWS parity; console is dense
