Costs climb as traffic grows

Serve more without egress anxiety

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

AWS charges for storage and internet delivery. Filebase keeps object egress free.

Lower storage baseline

AWS S3 Standard starts around $23.55/TB before transfer. Filebase starts at $15/TB.

Traffic spikes

Traffic spikes stay easier to predict when bandwidth is not the surprise variable.

Keep your S3 workflow

Keep the same S3-compatible tooling your team already uses.

Fewer billing meters

AWS combines more billing meters. Filebase keeps the math simpler.

A friendlier free path

Filebase includes 5 GB and free object egress for testing.
