That's just the storage cost per GB, if you have any kind of serious throughput, then bandwith costs make it more expensive.

Aren't they in that free bandwidth alliance with Cloudflare?

Yes, it looks like Backblaze is part of that free bandwidth alliance. [1]

Thank you, I was not aware of this policy.

Especially because Cloudflare's pricing is "smoother" and detached from any one service.

Yev from Backblaze here -> yes we are!

Thank you for being our Yev!
