  "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 free up to three times your average stored data each month, 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.",
