Yev from Backblaze -> B2 can be a bit cheaper because our service works a bit differently from S3. For example, uploading files doesn't require expensive load balancers in our data center. Instead, we require the dev to make 2 API calls to upload a file, instead of 1 in S3. The downside - our API isn't S3 compatible. However, the upside is pretty compelling - we pass the savings on and give you considerably cheaper storage. Folks from the Beta have said that using our APIs they were able to integrate their apps to B2 from S3 relatively quickly. That said we're still early, so it may be that we develop some more compatible APIs in the future.
