Which Cloud Storage Should You Use?

⚠️ The Egress Trap
AWS S3 charges $0.09/GB for data downloads. If you serve 10TB/month, that is $921 in egress alone — on top of storage. Cloudflare R2 and Wasabi charge $0 for egress, making them dramatically cheaper for read-heavy workloads.
💸 Cheapest storage: Backblaze B2
At $0.006/GB/month, B2 is 74% cheaper than AWS S3. Egress is $0.01/GB or free via Cloudflare partnership. Best for backups and large media storage.
🚀 Zero egress: Cloudflare R2
R2 charges $0.015/GB/month with no egress fees. If your app downloads data often, R2 often beats B2 in total cost. S3-compatible API.
🏢 Enterprise standard: AWS S3
AWS S3 is the most mature, integrates with every AWS service, and has the richest feature set. Price premium is worth it if you are already on AWS.
Simple & cheap: Wasabi
$0.0068/GB/month with free egress (first 1TB/month). No API call fees, predictable billing. Minimum storage commitment applies.
