Cloud Storage Pricing Comparison 2026: Cost per TB
Real cost per terabyte across every major cloud. Egress and exit fees included. Every price checked against the provider’s official pricing page, not press releases and not affiliate roundups.
What does your storage really cost per month?
Pick a capacity. Prices reflect annual billing on each provider’s closest plan.
| Provider | Est. monthly | Per TB | Notes |

Plans are stepped, not per-GB, so estimates use each provider’s nearest plan rate. Full methodology on our pricing pages.
The number nobody shows you: what it costs to leave
Storage prices are advertised. Exit costs are not. Moving 1 TB out of Amazon S3 runs roughly $83 to $90 in egress fees, while Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, Backblaze B2 and every mainstream consumer cloud charge $0. We track egress, download caps and migration friction for every provider we cover.

Every figure on Cloudzat is checked against the provider’s official pricing page and stamped with the date we checked it. We normalize everything to cost per terabyte per month on annual billing, and we always report the exit cost (egress fees, download caps and migration friction) alongside the entry price. When a price changes, the page changes.
