Their bill was $1885.43, not $436.77. This is because they were pushing an average of 112 requests per second, the entire month.

- brianwski 8y ago> Their bill was $1885.43, not $436.77 I understand, I was comparing the storage cost. Backblaze publishes a cost calculator here: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-pricing.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-pricing.html (scroll down, it is half way down that page). But it might not contain transactions. Backblaze does charge for transactions to recoup costs from that sort of thing. But it isn't intended as a "profit mechanism", we believe we approximately break even on the bill for transactions.
- thisacctforreal 8y agoOh I see, transactions do cost. $0.004 per 10,000 for Class B and C, which seems to boil down to delete and upload calls being free but the rest are paid. In this case their bill would have had $115.89 for the 290 million requests. Glad to see it's not a free lunch, I'm sorry for assuming otherwise. And thanks for b2, it's a great service :)
