Backblaze
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.
