- prirun 5y agoI just checked, and Scaleway's object store pricing is 0.01 euros/GB/mo (0.012 cents/GB/mo) vs Backblaze at 0.005 cents/GB/mo, so Scaleway is 2.4x more expensive at today's exchange rate: 0.012/0.005 = 2.40 They do have C14 Glacier-like object storage for less, but it also has a unique workflow where data is uploaded to a temporary area, archived 7 days later, has a unique archive id that has to be kept and then used to restore archives back into the temporary area. I tried to signup for Scaleway's free 75GB/mo account just now, to run some performance tests with HashBackup (I'm the author), but they won't allow creating a bucket until credit card details are entered. By contrast, Backblaze lets you create a new account w/o credit card info, within the free 10GB limit. You only need a credit card to go past 10GB. They have a big button to click to run free proof-of-concept tests that exceed 10GB. That's why I'm a B2 fan.
