Free Egress
AWS S3 vs Filebase
AWS charges for storage, transfer, and request volume.
Filebase keeps object storage simpler with $15/TB pricing and free egress.
Best for teams that want S3-compatible storage without watching bandwidth charges grow every time traffic spikes.
Pricing references were checked on May 18, 2026. AWS figures are based on published Amazon S3 Standard pricing and public internet data transfer out pricing, using the US East (N. Virginia) storage tier as the headline comparison. AWS pricing can vary by region and workload details.
Why teams switch object delivery off AWS
The biggest difference is not just lower storage cost. It is removing the egress meter that turns traffic growth into billing anxiety.
Stop paying twice
With AWS you pay to store objects and then pay again to serve them over the public internet. Filebase removes that second bill with free egress.
Lower storage baseline
AWS S3 Standard starts around $23.55/TB before transfer. Filebase object storage is $15/TB, so the monthly baseline starts lower before traffic even enters the picture.
Traffic spikes feel safer
If a product launch or customer export suddenly gets popular, the Filebase bill stays easier to predict because bandwidth is not the surprise variable.
Keep your S3 workflow
Use the same S3-compatible tooling your team already knows. That reduces switching friction and makes the cost conversation easier to act on.
Fewer billing meters
AWS can combine storage, transfer, and request pricing into one workload. Filebase narrows the model so you spend less time estimating edge cases.
A friendlier free path
Filebase gives you 5 GB and free object egress for testing. That makes early evaluation feel less like a billing puzzle and more like a real product trial.
Model your workload against AWS
Use the same storage and egress assumptions against Filebase, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This is the fastest way to see how free egress changes your monthly bill.

Filebase storage starts at $7.50 for 500 GB, then $15/TB with free object egress. AWS uses S3 Standard storage and public internet data transfer out. Azure uses Blob Storage Hot LRS in East US with outbound bandwidth from North America. Google Cloud uses Cloud Storage Standard in Iowa (us-central1) with data transfer to worldwide destinations. Check the published pricing: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure Blob Storage and Azure Bandwidth. For the purposes of this calculator, 1 GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes.
