Pricing behavior (not a price list)

These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.

Actions that trigger upgrades

  • Need enterprise governance and compliance integrations
  • Need broader global region footprint for latency-sensitive delivery
  • Need deeper adjacency to hyperscaler analytics and data pipelines
  • Need CDN integration for content delivery workflows

What gets expensive first

  • Region availability may constrain latency and delivery patterns
  • Storage pricing is competitive, but ecosystem limitations may surface
  • Immutable storage policies must align with your backup/restore behavior
  • S3-compatibility helps, but integration edge cases can still surface

Plans and variants (structural only)

Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.

Plans
  • Pricing - Usage-based - Very competitive storage pricing ($0.004/GB/mo) with zero egress fees (verify on official pricing page)
  • Use cases - Backups/archives - Best when cost predictability and immutability matter
  • Compatibility - S3-compatible - Verify any advanced features you depend on

Next step: constraints + what breaks first

Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
