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.
