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
Wasabi
Pros
- + Flat $7.99/TB/month with zero egress and API request charges — bills are predictable to the dollar
- + S3-compatible API with broad backup-software support (Veeam, rclone, Synology, MSP360 and others)
- + 16 regions with per-bucket region pinning, covering US, EU, and APAC data-residency needs
- + Credit-backed 99.9% uptime SLA with a published error-rate measurement methodology
- + No cold-tier latency: everything is hot storage, so restores are immediate
Cons
- - 90-day minimum storage duration — early deletion or overwriting incurs Timed Deleted Storage charges
- - 1 TB minimum monthly charge makes small datasets uneconomical
- - Fair-use policy implicitly caps monthly egress near stored volume — not a CDN origin play
- - Single storage tier only; no cheap cold class for rarely-retrieved archives
- - Basic support only on Pay-as-You-Go; Premium support is tied to Reserved Capacity contracts
