Backblaze · Storage & File Management

Cheap cloud backup + object storage (B2), publicly traded (BLZE). Positioned as the alternative to AWS S3 at roughly 1/5th the price with free egress to Cloudflare (partnership since 2022). Distinctive for its Personal Backup plan at $9/mo unlimited — a category-defining flat-rate offering. B2 Cloud Storage priced $6/TB/month. Popular with developers cost-optimizing away from AWS S3 for cold storage.

In other words, Backblaze B2 is worth it for developers and small businesses that want S3-compatible cloud storage at ~1/4 of AWS S3's price, without egress fees to Cloudflare. Consumption-based pricing per GB stored + per GB downloaded. Setup is instant with any S3-compatible tool. Wide integrations via S3 API (thousands of tools support it). Downside: fewer regional data centers than AWS/GCP (higher latency for some regions), and enterprise SLAs are weaker than hyperscalers.

Computer Backup is a flat $9/mo (or $99/year, $189/2yr) per computer with unlimited storage. B2 Cloud Storage is a separate usage-based product at $6/TB/mo ($0.006/GB), first 10GB free, egress free up to 3x stored. FLAG RESOLVED 2026-09-11: the open question from 2026-08-15 was whether Business Backup is $9/computer/mo or the stored $10.25/mo. Today's sources (checkthat.ai, costbench.com) confirm Business/Computer Backup at $123/year per computer INCLUDING Enterprise Control, which is exactly $10.25/mo — stored value is correct. The conflicting $9 figure was the Personal Backup rate ($99/yr) being mislabelled as Business. No change applied; flag closed. Personal Backup $9/$8.25 and B2 $6/TB also re-confirmed unchanged.
