Leviia
Pros
- + Flat €9.99/TB/month with no egress, API-request, or deletion fees
- + French data sovereignty: French entity, French data centers, ISO 27001 and HDS certified
- + S3-compatible with Object Lock immutability, versioning, and lifecycle rules
- + Works with the mainstream backup stack (Veeam, Commvault, Acronis, NAS appliances)
- + Erasure coding across three sites with an 11-nines durability design
Cons
- - 10 TB minimum order (€99.90/month) and annual commitment
- - No published uptime SLA
- - France-only footprint — no global distribution or CDN integration
- - Young vendor with limited long-term track record
- - No permanent free tier (15-day trial only) and pricing figures vary across the vendor's own pages
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
