The result? The switch from AWS S3 to Backblaze B2 reduced Nodecraft’s monthly storage and egress costs by 85%. They migrated 23TBs of data from S3 to Backblaze B2 in only seven hours with zero service interruption. Last year, Nodecraft, a gaming company providing a server management platform for multiplayer games, decided to move to B2 Cloud Storage in an effort to reduce prices and improve their service. Hypotheticals are nice, but how about a real world example? We’re glad you asked.

B2 Cost Calculatorīackblaze provides this calculator as an estimate. To help you plan for the future of your data storage-and to show you how you can save 75% on your next cloud storage bill-we’ve built the Cloud Storage Pricing Calculator, where anyone can enter in their specific use case and get pricing back for B2, AWS S3, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Storage.
While they might need a panel of experts to understand their next invoice, we don’t think you should be in the same boat. Just ask NASA-literal rocket scientists-who signed on to a cloud storage service without accurately projecting the cost to access their data when they need it. The complexity of other cloud storage providers is so epic that there are now whole businesses devoted to interpreting their billing. We also throw in your first 10GB of storage for free when you open your account and 1GB of free downloads every day. For Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, this means that no matter how much data you have, the cost for Backblaze B2 is $0.005/GB per month for data storage and $0.01/GB to download data. Our approach to pricing is to be transparent, straightforward, and predictable. The simple fact is: The majority of cloud storage providers make it hard to plan for the future by making it difficult to understand how much you’re storing and the details of what it’s costing you.
Throw in the unpredictable economy we’re all trying to navigate during the COVID-19 pandemic, and making the right next step can feel next to impossible.
