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 stronger enterprise governance and compliance integration
  • Need deeper adjacency to hyperscaler analytics/ML ecosystems
  • Need broader global footprint for latency-sensitive user delivery

What gets expensive first

  • Access pattern (egress + requests) can change economics more than storage volume
  • Policy minimums and retrieval expectations can surprise restore-heavy workflows
  • S3-compatibility doesn’t guarantee parity for advanced features and edge cases

Plans and variants (structural only)

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

Plans
  • Pricing - Storage-focused - Validate policy terms and egress assumptions on official pricing page
  • Use cases - Backups/archives - Best when footprint is large and access is predictable
  • Compatibility - S3-compatible - Verify any advanced features you depend on
