Backblaze B2 vs Wasabi
Both appear in 1 section: object storage. They are evenly matched.
These two are the budget end of object storage and they are priced almost identically: Backblaze B2 at $0.006/GB-month and Wasabi at $0.00699. On a terabyte that is $6.00 against $6.99 a month, a difference small enough that the terms matter far more than the rate. Wasabi charges nothing for egress or API operations at all, which is simpler than Backblaze's free-egress allowance of three times average stored volume followed by $0.01/GB. But Wasabi imposes two conditions that Backblaze does not: a 1 TB minimum billing amount, so storing 100 GB costs the same as storing a full terabyte, and a 90-day minimum retention per object, so anything deleted or overwritten before then is still billed for the remainder. For a large, stable archive both of those are irrelevant and Wasabi's flat no-fees model is the cleaner deal. For anything smaller than a terabyte, or any workload that writes and deletes frequently, they are expensive traps. Backblaze bills for what you actually store with no minimum, charges $0.004 per thousand reads, and has a longer public track record with published transparency reports. If you have more than a terabyte of cold data that mostly sits still, Wasabi. If you have less, or your objects churn, Backblaze is the safer choice at effectively the same price.
