Our verdict

Qiniu Cloud suits teams serving China who want object storage with CDN on the same bill, priced in CNY. Storage costs CNY 0.12 per GB per month, but public egress starts at CNY 0.24 to CNY 0.26 and only CDN origin-pull traffic is free.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Object storage and CDN are priced on one vendor: CNY 0.12 per GB per month for storage and CNY 0.24 for CDN traffic.
  • S3 compatibility is available, so existing S3 tooling can point at the same buckets.
  • CDN origin-pull traffic of 10 per month is free for standard storage, and the CDN product carries a free tier.
  • Support runs through email, chat and phone, which includes phone and chat alongside a help centre.

Cons

  • Public outbound egress is not free, and starts at CNY 0.24 to CNY 0.26.
  • Storage sits in object only, with no block or file tier to add.
  • Only 8 storage regions are offered, which is thin for a multi-continent footprint.

Who it suits

  • Teams whose users sit mainly in China and need a domestic provider
  • Video and media apps that pull objects through the CDN
  • Small teams already running S3-compatible code

Who should look elsewhere

  • Teams serving many continents, given 8 storage regions
  • Workloads that need block or file storage, since object covers object only
  • Budgets that need free public egress, as public outbound traffic is charged from CNY 0.24 to CNY 0.26

Where it sits among rivals

Qiniu Cloud is priced in the middle of the field on both measures readers watch. On price per GB per month it sits at position 55 of 103 brands. On egress price per GB it ranks 57 of 72. Against a site median of €0.01 per GB per month, its CNY 0.12 is a China-priced tier rather than a bargain.

Who runs it

Qiniu Cloud is run by Shanghai Qiniu Information Technology Co., Ltd., headquartered in China and founded in 2011. Support reaches customers through email, chat and phone, so help arrives by email, chat, phone, a help centre and a community rather than through one channel only.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Qiniu Cloud charge for object storage?+

Storage is priced at CNY 0.12 per GB per month on the Kodo pricing page. That rate is quoted in CNY, so teams billing in other currencies need to convert before comparing. Storage is object storage only, per object.

Is there free egress on Qiniu Cloud?+

Partly. Standard storage includes 10 of free CDN origin-pull traffic each month, so objects served through the CDN are cheap to pull. Public outbound egress is charged, starting at CNY 0.24 to CNY 0.26 per GB.

How much is CDN traffic on Qiniu Cloud?+

CDN traffic is billed at CNY 0.24 per GB, and the CDN product carries a free tier. Because the storage and CDN products sit with the same vendor, the two lines appear on one account rather than separate bills.

Can existing S3 tools work with Qiniu Cloud?+

Yes. S3 compatibility is available, which lets S3 client libraries and tools that assume the S3 API talk to Qiniu Cloud storage. You still point them at Qiniu Cloud endpoints and credentials rather than an S3 provider.

Where is Qiniu Cloud storage available?+

Qiniu Cloud publishes 8 storage regions. That footprint suits teams whose users sit in China, and it is thinner than the global field, where the site median location count is 4.

How long is the minimum storage term?+

The minimum storage period is 30 days, which suits archives and backups that are written once and read rarely. Workloads that churn constantly or get deleted quickly fit a provider without that floor more comfortably.

Who runs Qiniu Cloud and how is it reached?+

The provider is Shanghai Qiniu Information Technology Co., Ltd., headquartered in China and founded in 2011. Support runs on email, chat and phone, covering email, chat, phone, a help centre and a community.

Does Qiniu Cloud offer more than object storage?+

The listed storage types cover object, so bucket storage is the product here. Teams that also need block or file volumes would need another provider for that part of their stack.
