# Pricing

S3-compatible object storage on NVMe with a free tier to start and zero egress fees at
every scale. Hard-capped by default — it never silently starts billing.

## Start free, on real hardware

The free tier runs on the same all-NVMe infrastructure as everything else — the full
S3-compatible API with presigned URLs, multipart uploads, and access keys included.

Hitting the 5 GB cap blocks writes rather than starting a bill. Your existing objects
stay readable, and paid usage only ever happens with an explicit budget you set.

Beyond the free tier

$0.015 per GB per month

Set a monthly usage budget on the billing page and keep writing past 5 GB. Overage
is prorated hourly from your prepaid balance, and writes pause again if the budget
runs out — never a surprise bill. Egress stays free.

## Your data. Free to leave.

Egress is where object storage bills hide their cost — retrieving a terabyte from S3
costs around $90. From Edge Storage it costs nothing, at any scale.

### Zero egress fees

Serve public files, restore backups, or migrate away entirely — data transfer out is always included.

### All NVMe

No spinning disks and no archive-tier retrieval delays. Every object is on NVMe and served at full speed.

### Volume pricing at scale

Enterprise volume pay-as-you-go from $499/month with per-GB volume pricing, a 99.99% SLA, and an account manager.

## Pricing FAQ

Everything you need to know about how storage billing works.

### How does the free tier work?

Every account gets 2 buckets and 5 GB of NVMe-backed, S3-compatible storage. A card on file is required, but the free tier never charges — it's sized to evaluate with a real workload.

### What happens at the 5 GB cap?

Writes are blocked — never billed silently. Your existing objects stay readable and served. Set a usage budget on the billing page to keep writing at $0.015/GB-month, prorated hourly from your prepaid balance.

### Are downloads really free?

Yes. There are no egress fees at any scale, which is where S3 bills hurt most — retrieving your own data from Edge Storage costs nothing, whether it's a backup restore or public file serving.

### Is it actually S3-compatible?

Yes — the API speaks S3, so the AWS SDKs, rclone, s3cmd, and existing tooling work by changing the endpoint and keys. Presigned URLs and multipart uploads are supported.

### What if I need more than the free tier?

Enterprise volume pay-as-you-go covers storage at scale with per-GB volume pricing, a 99.99% SLA, and an account manager. Talk to us about your workload and we'll price it precisely.
