Our verdict
Wasabi suits backups, archives and any build that reads more than it stores, since data leaving the service costs $0 per GB while your monthly downloads stay within the volume you keep active, and API calls are free too. Storage runs at $0.0078 per GB per month, and S3 compatibility means little rework.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Downloads are free while your monthly egress stays within your active storage volume, and API requests are free as well.
- Ranked 1 of 72 brands on egress price per GB.
- Storage at $0.0078 per GB per month sits under Aruba at €0.011 and UCloud at $0.063 to $0.24.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, so help is not tied to a single channel.
Cons
- Objects must stay stored for a minimum of 90 days, which suits archives more than short-lived scratch output.
- Storage types listed are object only, so there is no block storage on the same account.
- On per-GB monthly storage Wasabi ranks 22 of 103, so the egress rule is the stronger part of the offer.
Who it suits
- Teams that back up or archive data they read far more often than they write
- Engineers already on S3-compatible tools who want the egress line to shrink
- Buyers who want storage and support from one operator, Wasabi Technologies, founded in 2017
Who should look elsewhere
- SberCloud at RUB 814.68 per GB per month, for buyers who want a ruble listing
- Aruba at €0.011 per GB per month, for teams who want a plain per-GB rate
- UCloud at $0.063 to $0.24 per GB per month, for buyers who prefer a published range over a storage-linked egress rule

Frequently asked questions
What does Wasabi charge for storage?+
Object storage is billed at $0.0078 per GB per month, and object storage is the only type listed, object. Migration questions are covered by support on email, chat and phone, which matters if you are moving an existing bucket rather than starting empty.
Is egress really free on Wasabi?+
Data leaving the service is listed at $0 per GB, and the free allowance covers outbound transfers while your monthly egress stays within your active storage volume. Downloads up to your stored amount are unlimited and API requests are free, which is why the egress rank sits at 1 of 72.
How long must data stay stored?+
Objects must remain stored for a minimum of 90 days. That window suits archives and backups rather than scratch space, so plan cleanup of test fixtures and short-lived job output around the stored volume you keep active.
Will my existing S3 tools work with Wasabi?+
S3 compatibility is listed for Wasabi, so existing S3 clients, SDKs and lifecycle rules carry across with little change. Object storage is the only storage type listed, object, which keeps the integration narrow and predictable for teams running standard bucket tooling.
How does Wasabi compare with other storage brands on price?+
On per-GB monthly storage Wasabi ranks 22 of 103 brands, while on egress price per GB it ranks 1 of 72. Aruba lists €0.011 per GB per month and UCloud lists $0.063 to $0.24, so the egress rule does the heavier lifting here.
Who runs Wasabi and where does it store data?+
The service is run by Wasabi Technologies, headquartered in the US and founded in 2017, with 16 storage regions listed. The same legal entity bills the storage and answers support tickets, so contracts and help come from one operator.
