Our verdict

Storj is a straightforward pick for teams already writing S3 code that want object storage and egress both priced low, at $0.007 to $0.01 per GB per month. The trade-off is a minimum storage term of 30 and a support model built on email, help centre and community.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Storage runs $0.007 to $0.01 per GB per month with egress at $0.007 per GB, so both sides of the bill stay small.
  • S3-compatible, so existing SDKs, credentials and migration tools carry over without a rewrite.
  • A single named operator, Storj Inc., in the US, running the service since 2014.

Cons

  • A minimum storage term of 30 rules out scratch buckets and short experiments.
  • Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no voice channel listed for incidents.
  • Object storage is the only category on offer, object, so block volumes have to come from somewhere else.

Who it suits

  • Developers whose applications already speak the S3 API and would rather repoint credentials than rewrite code
  • Teams holding archives, backups and media in place for months, matching the minimum storage term of 30
  • Products that send data back out to users, with egress at $0.007 per GB

Who should look elsewhere

  • UCloud, if per GB per month cost is the deciding factor: UCloud charges $0.063 to $0.24 against Storj at $0.007 to $0.01.
  • Aruba, if a euro-denominated quote would suit the budget better: Aruba lists €0.011 per GB per month.
  • SberCloud, if a ruble quote fits the accounts: its per GB per month price is RUB 814.68.

Pricing

Storj bills object storage at $0.007 to $0.01 per GB per month and charges $0.007 per GB for data leaving the network, so download-heavy workloads still carry a cost of their own. The commitment is the term to watch: 30 sets the minimum storage period, which shapes archives and backups rather than scratch buckets.

Where it sits among rivals

Across 103 brands ranked on price per GB per month, Storj holds position 20. On egress price per GB, where 72 brands are ranked, it sits at 36. The storage line is the stronger showing, so products that move a lot of data out gain less than the headline rate suggests.

How Storj compares

Frequently asked questions

What does Storj charge per GB per month?+

Storj bills object storage at $0.007 to $0.01 per GB per month. That is the storage line on its own, so a workload is easy to project. Data leaving the network is metered apart at $0.007 per GB rather than folded into the monthly rate, which matters for anything that serves files back out.

How much does it cost to move data out of Storj?+

Egress is priced at $0.007 per GB. Because it is charged per gigabyte moved out rather than included in the storage rate, an application that streams a lot of data back to users pays more than its storage figure alone implies. Model both lines together before committing.

Is there a minimum time you have to keep data on Storj?+

There is a minimum storage term of 30. Short-lived test data that gets deleted quickly does not match that shape, while archives, backups and media libraries that sit untouched for long stretches do. Plan around the term instead of assuming a bucket can be emptied on demand.

Will existing S3 code work with Storj?+

Storj is S3-compatible, so applications, SDKs and migration tooling written against the S3 API can point at it without a rewrite. The catalogue covers object storage, object, so teams needing block volumes alongside buckets should plan for another provider for that part of the stack.

Who runs Storj and where is it based?+

The provider is Storj Inc., founded 2014 and headquartered in the US. Its terms, invoices and support requests all run through that named company rather than a reseller, so the contract side of the relationship stays in a single place.

How do you get support from Storj?+

Support runs on email, help centre and community. That mix leans on written answers and peer exchange, which suits developers who prefer a searchable thread to a live conversation. Anyone hoping to pick up a phone during an incident should expect a slower route, since no voice channel is listed.

Where does Storj sit against rival providers?+

On price per GB per month, ranked across 103 brands, Storj holds position 20. On egress price per GB, across 72 brands, it sits at 36. Storage pricing reads stronger than transfer pricing, so heavy readers of data should weigh egress first.

What kinds of storage does Storj sell?+

Storj sells object storage. Workloads built on buckets, manifests and request signing fit that model directly. Anything expecting mounted volumes or a local filesystem will need a different product for that part of the stack.
