Storj
Pros
- + $7/TB storage and $7/TB egress on Standard — far below hyperscaler egress economics
- + 11 nines durability target via erasure coding across independent nodes; no single point of failure
- + S3-compatible gateway plus Object Mount (two licenses free with every account)
- + Advanced tier pins data to U.S. SOC 2 Type 2 compliant data centers for residency needs
- + Open source, client-side encryption by default, and a 30-day trial with no credit card
Cons
- - No permanent free tier — 30-day trial only, then a $5 monthly minimum fee that is not a credit
- - Pricing changed twice in a year; the 2026 migration's opt-out deletes your data within 45 days
- - 50KB object minimum and 30-day minimum retention punish small-object and churn-heavy workloads
- - Performance varies with node geography versus single-region centralized storage
- - New ownership (Inveniam, October 2025) and STORJ token economics add strategy risk
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
