  "tagline": "Cheap S3-compatible object storage",
  "price": "$6.95/TB/month (about $0.0069/GB), first 10 GB free. Egress free up to 3x average monthly storage, then $0.01/GB. Class A/B/C API calls free; Class D $0.004 per 10K",
  "tier": "mixed",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "S3-compatible object storage priced at roughly a third of S3. Egress is <b>free up to three times your average stored data each month</b>, and unlimited and free when delivered through partner CDNs including Cloudflare, Fastly and bunny.net. Most API call classes cost nothing.",
  "why": "The cheapest durable home for a large archive of originals and masters. Pair it with bunny.net or Cloudflare and both storage and egress land near zero while you keep a standard S3 API.",
  "warn": "Free egress is capped at 3x stored data — a small bucket serving heavy traffic blows past it and pays $0.01/GB. The unlimited-egress promise only holds through partner CDNs, not direct to the internet.",
