Our verdict
Rabata is an S3-compatible object storage provider for developers who want cheap buckets and minimal migration work, charging $0.01 per GB per month with uploads at no charge. It suits small teams with light egress and a 1 region footprint, but not workloads that need free data transfer out or wider regional coverage.

Frequently asked questions
What does Rabata charge per GB per month?+
Storage is billed at $0.01 per GB per month, level with the site median €0.01. Rabata places at 28 of 103 brands on this measure, so the entry rate is competitive rather than exceptional.
Is data transfer out free on Rabata?+
It is not. No free egress; ingress (upload) is free Downloads run at $0.01 per GB, which places Rabata at 41 of 72 brands on egress price. Workloads pushing large volumes out of storage pay for every gigabyte they move.
Is Rabata S3-compatible?+
Yes. Rabata is S3-compatible, so buckets, credentials and existing SDKs work as they do elsewhere. Its storage types cover object storage only: object. A team porting an existing bucket setup can point the same code at Rabata rather than rewrite the integration.
How many regions does Rabata run storage in?+
Rabata lists 1 region, a narrow choice of placement for object storage. Workloads that must satisfy data residency rules across several countries, or that want copies near distant users, will find the footprint limiting for growth.
What support does Rabata offer?+
Support runs on email and help centre, covering email and a help centre. Time-sensitive problems therefore rest on email response times, and teams that expect an agent on a call during a production incident may prefer a provider that publishes more contact routes.
Who operates Rabata?+
The service is run by RCS Technologies FZE LLC, as named in its legal terms and privacy information. Contract, invoicing and data processing questions should be settled with that company before buckets are moved across, especially for workloads under internal governance review.
How does Rabata compare with Aruba and UCloud on storage price?+
Rabata charges $0.01 per GB per month, against €0.011 for Aruba and $0.063 to $0.24 for UCloud's UDisk. Aruba sits close to Rabata, while the UCloud range sits well above, leaving Rabata at the low end of the three on storage alone.
