Hi, I'm the founder of BigStash. We have been working with AWS Glacier for two years now, and we are very well aware of its complicated pricing scheme. Part of our offering is the abstraction layer over Glacier's pricing. Yes, you may download all your files today. But this will probably be just 0.001% of the total Glacier storage we manage, and as such, it will not cost BigStash as much. Something you didn't mention, is that there are also bandwidth costs involved. But the way our service is designed is more suitable for the kind of data you will rarely download. (And BTW, this will probably be a long-term relationship, if we live up to our promise and offer a good and reasonably priced service.) Plus, most users will not use 100% of the storage they purchase. We expect this to be more often in larger plans, that's why we are offering a lower price per GB.
