Backblaze B2 vs Storj

Backblaze B2

Backblaze B2 is the value leader in S3-compatible cloud storage at $0.006/GB-month - roughly one-quarter the cost of AWS S3 Standard - with free egress to Cloudflare, Fastly, and other CDN partners. Founded on a mission of affordable, transparent storage, it is the default choice for backups, media archives, and cost-conscious object storage workloads.

Storj

Storj takes a radically different approach to object storage: instead of centralized data centers, files are encrypted, sharded, and distributed across a global network of independent storage nodes. With pricing as low as $0.004/GB-month, zero-knowledge encryption by default, and a S3-compatible gateway, it offers unmatched privacy economics for archival and compliance workloads.
