Our verdict
Cubbit is the cheapest of this group for anyone whose real cost is bandwidth, because egress is €0 with Unlimited, egress included with no egress fees. It suits developers and small teams that already speak S3, and it is a harder sell for buyers who need block storage or phone support.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Egress is €0 and Unlimited, egress included with no egress fees, so moving data out never adds a line item.
- Storage runs €0.005 per GB per month, below Aruba at €0.011 and UCloud at $0.063 to $0.24.
- S3-compatible, so existing SDKs, tools and buckets move across without a rewrite.
- On egress price per GB the ranking is 1 out of 72 brands.
Cons
- Storage types cover object only, so anyone also needing block volumes has to look elsewhere.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, which means no phone or live chat line on the published list.
- The provider is Cubbit S.r.l., headquartered in Italy, so buyers with procurement needs beyond a single European entity should check their own requirements.
- On price per GB per month the ranking is 13 out of 103, well behind the leaders on that single measure.
Who it suits
- Teams whose bandwidth bill dwarfs their storage bill and who value a predictable monthly figure
- Developers already running S3 tooling who want the same API from a different provider
- Small teams that read documentation and self-serve through a help centre and community rather than a phone line
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need block storage alongside object storage, since Cubbit's storage types cover object only
- Teams that want a named phone or chat support channel on the published list of email, help centre and community
- Anyone who needs a cheap entry price in a RUB billing market, which points to SberCloud
Plans, egress and billing
Cubbit prices storage at €0.005 per GB per month. That is a single ongoing figure rather than a discounted first period, so the number a reader plans around at entry is the same one that shows up at renewal. Egress is where the offer stands out: the charge is €0 and Unlimited, egress included with no egress fees. For workloads that push data out to users, to media pipelines or across regions, that line turns from the most volatile part of a storage bill into nothing. Put the two together and a team moving a lot of bytes pays mainly for the bytes it keeps. Set against the comparison set, per GB per month sits below Aruba at €0.011 and far below UCloud at $0.063 to $0.24, while SberCloud lists RUB 814.68 in RUB terms. The trade-off to weigh is that the appeal rests on bandwidth, not on capacity. If your data mostly sits still, the saving is smaller than the headline suggests, and the per GB figure is the part that matters.
How it compares on our data
Across the brands on this page, Cubbit places first on egress price per GB, at position 1 of 72 ranked providers. That is the strongest signal in the set, and it is consistent with what the pricing shows: an egress charge of €0 and Unlimited, egress included with no egress fees. On price per GB per month the picture is different. Cubbit sits at position 13 of 103 providers, so it is a value pick rather than the cheapest place to park cold bytes. Read the two ranks together and the picture is clear. Cubbit wins where data moves and merely competes where data stays. That is a narrower win than a top billing figure, and it is the reason to test this provider on your own traffic pattern rather than on a generic storage table.
The company behind it
Cubbit is run by Cubbit S.r.l., headquartered in Italy. Storage types are object, and the API is S3-compatible, which is the part that matters most for a technical buyer evaluating it. Support is offered through email, help centre and community, a self-serve pattern that suits teams with engineers who prefer documentation and community answers. It suits smaller organisations more than large ones with procurement checklists, since the published channels carry no phone or live chat route. Nothing in the licensing record changes that picture, because the provider lists no licences or regulator entries on this page. For an EU buyer the entity and country are straightforward, and for a team that already speaks S3 the migration question mostly answers itself.

Frequently asked questions
What does Cubbit charge per GB per month?+
Storage is priced at €0.005 per GB per month, a single published rate rather than a promotional first period. On that measure Cubbit sits below Aruba at €0.011 and well below UCloud at $0.063 to $0.24. Budget with the ongoing figure rather than an introductory one.
Is egress really free on Cubbit?+
Yes. The egress charge is €0 and the free egress term is Unlimited, egress included with no egress fees. That matters most for buckets feeding users, media delivery or cross-region copies, where bandwidth is usually the largest and least predictable line in a storage bill. Retention-heavy workloads see less of the benefit.
Is Cubbit S3-compatible?+
Yes, the API is S3-compatible, so existing SDKs, lifecycle rules and tooling apply as they would on Amazon S3. Migration work is mostly repointing endpoints and keys rather than rewriting integration code. That makes Cubbit a straightforward swap for a team that has already built against S3.
What storage types does Cubbit offer?+
Storage types cover object only. If your estate also needs block volumes for databases or VM disks, Cubbit cannot cover that part of the workload and you would run a second provider. Object-only buyers are unaffected.
How does Cubbit rank against other providers?+
On egress price per GB, Cubbit places at position 1 of 72 ranked providers, which is the strongest result in the set. On price per GB per month it is position 13 of 103, so the two measures tell different stories.
How do I get support from Cubbit?+
Support is offered through email, help centre and community, meaning email, a help centre and a community. The published list carries no phone or live chat channel, so a team that relies on a named support contact should factor that in. Self-serve suits organisations with engineers who are comfortable in documentation.
Who is behind Cubbit and where is it based?+
The provider is Cubbit S.r.l., headquartered in Italy. Buyers with vendor onboarding or procurement requirements can work from that legal entity directly. No licences or regulator entries are listed for this provider on this page.
How does Cubbit compare with UCloud and Aruba on storage cost?+
Cubbit charges €0.005 per GB per month. Aruba charges €0.011 and UCloud charges $0.063 to $0.24, so Cubbit is the cheapest of the three on capacity. UCloud's wider catalogue may still matter more to some buyers than the per GB rate.
