“From a cost of goods sold perspective, AWS pricing wasn’t a great fit. Backblaze was a drop-in API replacement with a much better cost structure—it was just a no-brainer.”

Backblaze focuses on hot object storage for top use cases, not pricey bells and whistles for outlier needs.
Backblaze innovated on commodity hardware with intelligent software for high performance without high cost.
Backblaze plans, buys, codes, and operates our storage cloud for cost efficiencies at exabyte scale.
Want more than 3x free egress? You’ll be pleased to know that you can enjoy unlimited free egress when downloading from Backblaze B2 to/through many of our CDN and compute partners. Partners supported for unlimited free egress: Fastly, Cloudflare, Bunny.net, CacheFly, Coreweave, Equinix Metal, Vultr, and phoenixNAP.
All Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage users enjoy free data egress (also known as download) up to 3x their average monthly storage amount. The monthly average is determined based on byte hours over the billing cycle, with total egress up to 3x the average provided free; any monthly egress overage is priced at $0.01/GB.
The comparison charts are accurate based on published rates and select assumptions at the time of the publication. Of course, every business’ scenario is a little different so it is wise of you to apply further diligence based on your data set, workflow, and needs.
Both services run on the same highly performant platform. Which is better for you will depend on how you wish to operate. Companies often choose pay-as-you-go when they want to scale up or down as needed, they want monthly billing to correlate precisely to service consumption, or they don’t wish to start with 20TB or more. Companies often choose our B2 Reserve annual capacity bundles when they want to buy through a preferred reseller or systems integrator or they seek to budget the exact same amount month after month, year after year, for the duration of their purchase contract.
Backblaze B2 is built for affordable performance. We focus on delivering always-hot service for top use cases, rather than adding expensive bells and whistles for outlier needs. We marry open source and commodity hardware with our intelligent software for high performance without high cost. And, we operate at exabyte scale for cost efficiencies.
