Scaleway Object Storage
Pros
- + S3-compatible API with no request fees and free ingress — predictable invoices for request-heavy workloads
- + Standard Multi-AZ across three zones with 11-nines durability and a 99.9% availability SLA
- + 75GB storage and 75GB egress free every month, plus a 750GB/90-day trial for new accounts
- + EU-only operation (Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Milan) with HDS and ISO 27001 certification, outside the CLOUD Act
- + Glacier archive class at about €0.00254/GB/month with lifecycle rules for automated tiering
Cons
- - Egress metered at €0.01/GB after 75GB free — CDN-fronting is needed for read-heavy media delivery
- - Glacier only in Paris and Amsterdam; no regions outside Europe at all
- - Versioning caps at 1,000 versions per object and console batch deletion caps at 1,000 objects
- - A started GB-hour is billable (1KB for 1 second bills as a GB-hour), which punishes tiny objects
- - Class migrations between buckets are manual and support is ticket-based
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
