Google Cloud Storage
Pros
- + Per-GiB-hour pricing published per class and location, prorated per second — no commitment required
- + Four storage classes put cold bytes as low as about $0.0012/GB-month (Archive)
- + Credit-backed SLA: 99.95% multi/dual-region Standard with 10–50% credits on miss
- + Real S3 interoperability (XML API, HMAC keys, V4 signing) plus a documented migration path
- + Always Free tier (5 GB-months, 50k Class B ops, 100 GB egress in US regions) can host a small real workload
Cons
- - Egress at $0.12/GiB (Premium) makes read-heavy serving expensive without a CDN in front
- - Cold classes carry minimum storage durations and retrieval fees — wrong class choices cost more than Standard
- - Many pricing dimensions (classes, placement, network tiers, operation classes) make forecasting hard
- - IAM and lifecycle configuration is a real learning curve and a common source of misconfiguration
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
