Compare real storage workload
Storage cost can change with tier mix, requests, retrieval, lifecycle movement, replication, early deletion, object management, and outbound transfer.
Cloud Cost Calculators
Cloud Object Storage Cost Comparison Calculator
Estimate monthly object storage cost across Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage using the same storage workload. Enter current provider rates, then compare storage tiers, requests, retrieval, outbound transfer, replication, early deletion, management, and migration cost in one planning view.
Pricing model checked: July 10, 2026. Prices are not hardcoded because object storage rates vary by provider, region, redundancy option, storage class, request type, retrieval method, account agreement, currency, and discounts.
Configure workload
Select provider and enter current prices
Object storage pricing depends on stored data, region, redundancy, storage class, requests, retrieval, transfer, replication, and lifecycle rules. Beeija keeps provider prices editable so you can compare the same workload with current pricing.
Shared object storage workload assumptions
Use the same storage volume, tier mix, requests, retrieval, and transfer assumptions for every provider so the comparison stays fair.
Advanced request, retrieval, and transfer assumptions
Open this when your estimate must include replication, request volume, retrieval, outbound transfer, object-management, or early-deletion assumptions. These inputs stay shared across every provider.
Normalized monthly storage workload
Total stored with replication: 12,288 GB
Additional replicated storage: 2,048 GB
Standard share: 60%
Cool share: 30%
Archive share: 10%
Entered tier total: 100%
AWS price inputs
Good for Amazon S3 planning with storage class rates, request charges, retrieval, transfer, replication, and lifecycle cost inputs.
Service or plan name
Amazon S3
Fixed by the selected provider plan. Edit only the pricing rates below.Advanced request, retrieval, and transfer rates
Open this only when request charges, retrieval, restore, transfer, replication, management, or early-deletion costs apply.
Fixed, migration, and amortized planning costs
Open only for fixed monthly or one-time migration costs.
Keep provider prices editable
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud price storage differently. Enter current official rates for the region, class, request pattern, and account you are checking.
Read the estimate safely
Use the result as a planning estimate. Final bills may change because of taxes, support plans, allowances, discounts, restore speed, and provider billing rules.
When This Object Storage Calculator Helps
This calculator is useful when storage data is growing, colder tiers are being considered, or a team is moving backups, logs, media, analytics files, application uploads, or archive data between cloud providers. It helps compare cost drivers that are easy to miss when you only look at the headline storage price.
- Compare one object storage workload across Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage.
- Plan hot, cool, and archive tier allocation before setting lifecycle rules.
- Add request, retrieval, egress, replication, management, and early-deletion assumptions.
- Estimate first-year impact when migration or one-time movement cost matters.
What The Estimate Includes
The result can include monthly storage by class, write/read/list operations, lifecycle transition requests, retrieval or restore charges, internet or cross-region transfer, replication transfer, object-management charges, early-deletion penalties, fixed monthly services, and one-time migration cost spread across a planning period. It is a planning estimate, not a provider quote or final bill.

Common Questions
Why are object storage prices editable?
Object storage pricing changes by provider, region, redundancy option, storage class, request type, retrieval method, transfer destination, currency, and account agreement. Editable fields let you enter the current effective rates for the exact bucket setup you are checking.
Why does a cheaper archive tier sometimes cost more?
Archive and colder storage classes can reduce monthly storage cost, but retrieval charges, restore fees, lifecycle transition requests, minimum storage durations, and early-deletion charges can change the total cost when data is accessed or moved too often.
Does this replace the official provider calculator?
No. Use this as a planning comparison before choosing a provider or storage design. Final bills can change because of tiered pricing, taxes, support plans, free allowances, negotiated discounts, minimum object sizes, restore speed, and provider billing updates.
