“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.”

FAQs

How is pay-as-you-go storage billed?

Service is billed monthly, based on the amount of data stored per byte-hour over the last month at a rate of $6/TB/30-day.

How can I get unlimited free egress?

Backblaze B2 offers unlimited free egress when downloading to or through partner CDNs and compute services, including Fastly, Cloudflare, Bunny.net, CacheFly, Coreweave, Equinix Metal, Vultr, and phoenixNAP.

How does Backblaze's 3x free egress work?

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.; Egress exceeding this amount is charged at $0.01/GB.

How accurate are your rate comparisons?

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.

Which is better for me—pay-as-you-go or an annual capacity bundle?

Both services run on the same highly performant platform. Which is better for you will depend on how you wish to operate. Pay-as-you-go is ideal for flexible scaling, monthly billing, or smaller data needs. B2 Reserve is suited for businesses seeking consistent annual billing and larger storage commitments starting at 20TB, often purchased through resellers or integrators.

How can Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage be so much more affordable than the “other guys”?

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.
