Our verdict

QingStor suits teams in China that want object and block storage from one vendor, with S3 compatibility and a small free download allowance each month. Storage runs CNY 0.085 to CNY 0.15 per GB per month, mid table on that measure, while transfer out costs more than most rivals charge.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The service covers object and block storage, so objects and volumes come from one vendor.
  • S3 compatible, so existing buckets and tooling carry across without a rewrite.
  • A free monthly download allowance of 1, with extra free traffic in the first year.
  • Support reaches buyers through phone, chat and email.

Cons

  • Egress at CNY 0.30 to CNY 0.45 per GB ranks 59 of 72, so data transfer out is the weak spot.
  • A minimum term of 30 days suits archives more than short lived scratch data.
  • Prices come from a provider headquartered in China and quoted in CNY, so buyers elsewhere carry a currency step.

Who it suits

  • Teams in China that want object and block storage from one provider.
  • Developers on S3 tooling who can point existing buckets at a compatible endpoint.
  • Archives, backups and media libraries that sit untouched and can meet a minimum term.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Aruba, when per GB storage is the deciding number: €0.011 per GB per month against QingStor at CNY 0.085 to CNY 0.15, quoted in another currency.
  • SberCloud for teams that budget in roubles: RUB 814.68 per GB per month.
  • UCloud for buyers wanting a USD band: $0.063 to $0.24 per GB per month, a wider range than the QingStor rate.

Where it sits among rivals

On price per GB per month, QingStor places 43 of 103, the middle of the market rather than the front of it. On egress price per GB it sits at 59 of 72, so storage is competitive while data transfer is not. Quoted in CNY, the band also needs converting before any comparison with dollar or euro pricing.

Who runs it

The operator is QingCloud Technologies Group Co., Ltd. (青云科技集团股份有限公司), headquartered in China and founded in 2012. Support runs through phone, chat and email, putting a phone line and a help centre next to email and live chat. Published prices are in CNY, so budgeting needs a currency step before it matches a dollar or euro quote.

Frequently asked questions

What does QingStor charge per GB each month?+

Storage runs CNY 0.085 to CNY 0.15 per GB per month across the QingStor range, covering object and block storage. That places it 43 of 103 on price per GB per month, so it reads as a mid market storage rate rather than a premium one.

How much does data transfer out cost?+

Egress is billed at CNY 0.30 to CNY 0.45 per GB, the expensive side of the QingStor bill. It ranks 59 of 72 on that measure, so any workload that moves a lot of data out should be costed on transfer first.

Is any egress free?+

QingStor includes free download traffic of 1 a month, with extra free traffic through the first year of an account. Past that allowance, outbound data is charged at CNY 0.30 to CNY 0.45 per GB, so the free part covers light use rather than heavy transfer.

Is there a first year offer or a cheaper entry price?+

The introductory element is free download traffic beyond the monthly allowance, granted for the first year. The standing monthly allowance of 1 continues afterwards, and storage keeps the same CNY 0.085 to CNY 0.15 per GB per month rate.

Can I bring my existing S3 tools and buckets?+

Yes. QingStor is S3 compatible, so buckets, keys and existing S3 tooling can point at it without a rewrite of the application. Teams that keep one object storage interface across providers can hold QingStor against a like for like alternative on the same numbers.

How short a storage commitment can I take?+

The minimum storage term is 30 days. That shape suits archives, backups and media libraries that sit untouched for long stretches. Workloads that appear and disappear within days still pay for a full period of storage, which erodes the value of the low per GB rate.

Where is the provider based and what support is listed?+

The operator is QingCloud Technologies Group Co., Ltd. (青云科技集团股份有限公司), headquartered in China and founded in 2012. Prices are published in CNY, which suits buyers in the region. Support is listed across phone, chat and email, so a phone line and a help centre sit next to email and live chat.
