Your situation
Usage drives both bills; effort drives the breakeven.
Migration verdict
Probably stay — payback over a year out
Saving $1.28/mo against ~$1,000.00 of migration effort takes 782 months to break even.
You today
- Egress here is modeled at the direct-download rate ($0.01/GB); in practice the first 3x your monthly storage is free, and egress via CDN partners (Cloudflare, Fastly, bunny.net) is unlimited free — so our egress cost is a conservative ceiling
- Class A/B/C API calls are free; Class D $0.004/10,000 (first 2,500/day free)
Best alternative
- Class A operations (writes/lists) cost $4.50/million and Class B (reads) $0.36/million beyond the free tier — heavy small-object workloads add ops cost we don't model here
- Usage is rounded up to the next billing unit
The math, line by line
Bills computed by the same engine and verified data as the object storage selector; switching-cost inputs are yours to set — we only default them.
