Storage providers compared
FeatherVault stores backups in your own S3-compatible bucket. Here is a rough orientation across the providers it supports.

What will it actually cost?
Your storage bill goes to your provider; FeatherVault is the subscription on top. Move the sliders to see both.
How often you back up isn’t here because it doesn’t change the bill: retention caps how many copies survive, and uploads are free at every provider above. Hourly and weekly cost the same at rest if both keep 7.
Backblaze B2 - storing 280 GB, restoring 8 GB
Standard covers 50 schedules and 1 concurrent job - enough for 5 servers.
Storage figures are indicative USD list prices, checked 2026-08-25, and compared in full below. Pounds are approximate, converted at 0.7463 as of 2026-10-30; your provider still bills you in dollars. FeatherVault is billed in GBP by Stripe, so its price is exact and shown separately rather than added. See what each plan includes.
Cloudflare R2
Frequent restores, with no egress fees at all.
Provider pricing →Backblaze B2
The cheapest per-GB storage for archival backups.
Provider pricing →Wasabi
Predictable flat pricing at scale, above its 1 TB minimum.
Provider pricing →DigitalOcean Spaces
A predictable flat bill if you already run DigitalOcean.
Provider pricing →Hetzner Object Storage
Generous bundled egress, and EU-hosted if that matters.
Provider pricing →Amazon S3
Existing AWS users who want everything in one place.
Provider pricing →MinIO (self-hosted)
Self-hosters who want full control of their data.
Provider pricing →Backups compress well, but a busy modded server can still be several gigabytes. Which provider wins depends on the shape of your usage, not just the per-GB rate: cheap storage usually leads, but a zero-egress provider overtakes it once you restore far more than you keep. The calculator above works this out for your own numbers.
