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
Backblaze B2
Pros
- + $6.95/TB/month storage with no minimum file size or storage duration fees
- + Free egress up to 3x average monthly storage for all customers; unlimited free egress to partner CDNs/compute
- + Genuine S3-compatible API plus native API, with free Class A/B/C transactions
- + 11 nines claimed durability with published Vault math (20 shards across 20 pods)
- + EU data residency via the Amsterdam region; permanent 10 GB free tier
Cons
- - One region per account (fixed at creation); no cross-region buckets or read replicas
- - S3 compatibility is partial: no IAM roles, object tagging, or website hosting; bucket-level ACLs only
- - SLA is thin: 99.9% objective with 5–10% service credits
- - Storage price rose from $6 to $6.95/TB in May — value still strong, but the direction is upward
- - No compute, functions, or database services
