Our verdict
Tigris sells object and block storage at $0.02 with egress at $0, so moving bytes stops being a line item. It suits teams shipping user files, media or analytics data out of storage often, and it drops out when a minimum storage term matters more than the transfer bill.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Egress costs $0 and stays free on all storage tiers, so heavy read patterns do not lift the bill.
- Tigris storage is $0.02 per GB per month, under UCloud at $0.063 to $0.24.
- S3-compatible, so existing clients, SDKs and lifecycle rules carry over without a rewrite.
- Object and block storage (object and block) in 11 regions under one provider.
Cons
- A minimum storage term of 30 to 90 rules out scratch and test-first usage.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line listed.
- Rankings split: egress sits at 1 of 72 brands, but price per GB per month is 59 of 103.
Who it suits
- Teams that read and download more than they write, such as media, backup or analytics pipelines.
- Shops already built on S3 that want free transfer charges without a client rewrite.
- Developers who want object and block storage from one S3-compatible provider.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers after the lowest unit price: Aruba lists €0.011 per GB per month.
- Teams billing in rubles, where SberCloud lists RUB 814.68 per GB per month.
- Workloads that cannot hold data for a fixed term, because Tigris asks for 30 to 90.
Pricing
Tigris charges $0.02 per GB per month for stored data. Egress is priced at $0, and the provider keeps egress free on all storage tiers, so a bucket's cost follows stored volume rather than traffic. The one condition attached is a minimum storage term of 30 to 90.

Frequently asked questions
What does Tigris charge per GB per month?+
Tigris bills storage at $0.02 per GB per month, and that single rate covers both object and block storage. It is the recurring cost of holding data, kept separate from anything charged on the way in or out.
Does Tigris charge for data leaving storage?+
No. Egress is priced at $0, and Tigris keeps egress free on all storage tiers. Downloads, API reads and cross-region copies therefore do not add to what you pay each month, only stored volume does.
Is there a minimum storage period on Tigris?+
Yes, 30 to 90. Data has to sit for that long before it can go, so a bucket created for a one-off test still bills for the full term. Short-lived scratch space is the use case this rule suits least.
Is Tigris S3-compatible?+
Yes. Tigris is S3-compatible and offers object and block storage, so existing S3 clients, SDKs, bucket policies and lifecycle rules carry over. Application code does not have to be rewritten to point at a different API.
Where does Tigris run?+
Tigris lists 11 regions, which is enough to place a bucket near its readers rather than work from one default location. Check the region list against your own latency and data residency needs before you commit.
Who operates Tigris?+
The service is run by Tigris Data, Inc. That is the legal entity behind it, so contracts, invoices and support requests all sit with the same party rather than a partner or reseller, which keeps procurement simple.
What support channels does Tigris offer?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community. Email and a help center cover account and billing questions, with a community channel for the rest. There is no phone or live chat line listed, so urgent issues go through email.
How does Tigris compare with Aruba and UCloud on storage price?+
Tigris charges $0.02 per GB per month. Aruba lists €0.011 and UCloud lists $0.063 to $0.24, so Tigris is not the cheapest on stored volume alone. Its argument is what the stored data costs to send back out.
Where does Tigris rank on price?+
On egress price per GB, Tigris ranks 1 of 72 brands. On price per GB per month it sits at 59 of 103. Overall the brand scores 6.2, with offer outpacing cost.
