If you are storing large amount of data: E2 is the cheapest (20$/TB/year, 3x egress for free)

If you are having lots of egress: R2 is the cheapest (15$/TB/month, free egress)

R2 can get somewhat expensive if you have lots of mutations, which is not a typical use case for most.

What's E2? Top google result for "e2 blob storage" is azure, but that can't be it since the pricing table comes at around $18/TB/month.

I think Backblaze B2 is probably the reference (which has free egress up to 3x data stored - https://www.backblaze.com/blog/2023-product-announcement/). I don't know of any public S3-compatible provider that is as cheap as 20$/TB/year (roughly ~$0.0016/GB/mo).

I stand corrected! Will bookmark this to take a look at this later. Thank you!
