For the delay do you mean via the web gateways, or directly over IPFS? For storage, most of the Filecoin-backed serves (like http://web3.storage http://web3.storage, https://nft.storage https://nft.storage, and https://estuary.tech https://estuary.tech are either free or close to that for most use cases.
