Pricing

Pricing for Object Storage is determined by the combined size (in GB) of the stored content, the amount of network transfer (outbound) consumed, and the number (and type) of requests.

Content stored

Object Storage costs a flat rate of $5 a month, and includes 250 gigabytes of storage. This flat rate is prorated, so if you use Object Storage for a fraction of the month you are charged a fraction of the cost. For example, if you have Object Storage enabled for half of the month and use up to 250 gigabytes of storage you are billed $2.50 at the end of the month. The default cost of storage per gigabyte over the first 250 gigabytes is $0.02, and this usage is also prorated based on usage time.

Storage overages for Object Storage vary by data center due to regional infrastructure costs. The below table includes overage costs for different data centers where Object Storage is available:

Once you enable Object Storage you will be billed at the flat rate regardless of whether or not there are active buckets on your account. You must Cancel Object Storage to stop billing for this service.

Object Storage does not have a minimum billable object size. All objects that are stored in Object Storage, regardless of size, are billable.

Network transfer

Any outbound network transfer overages are billed at the rate shown in the table below. You can find details on network transfer pricing in the Network transfer usage and costs guide.

Network transfer allowance: When Object Storage is enabled on your account, 1 TB of transfer allowance is added to your account's monthly global network transfer pool. This amount is prorated based on the length of time Object Storage is active. No additional transfer allowance is added to the region-specific network transfer pools for Jakarta and São Paulo.

Request pricing

With the introduction of the high-performance E2 and E3 endpoints, we will be introducing charges for requests to the Object Storage service. To allow our customers time to optimize usage of object storage prior to the introduction of this new pricing, charges will appear on Object Storage bills no earlier than October 1, 2026.

Requests charges are organized by Class A and Class B requests. Class A operations include requests to write content (PUT) and high overhead operations such as LIST. Class B operations include read requests (GET) and operations with lower overhead.

Both Class A and Class B include a base quota of free operations per month.

Free Operations

Delete operations are always free.
