### Egress over allowance

- Bunny Storage: Free to Bunny's own CDN, and no API fees or API egress charges. Bunny prices storage by replication rather than by transfer. ([source](https://bunny.net/storage/))
- Tigris: None. Tigris charges no egress fees; retrieval is free on Standard and Archive tiers and $0.01–$0.03 per GB on the Infrequent Access and Glacier tiers. ([source](https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/pricing/))

### Storage price

- Tigris: $0.02 per GB-month for Standard, $0.01 for Infrequent Access, $0.004 for Archive and Glacier tiers ([source](https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/pricing/))

## Which should you choose?

Pick Bunny Storage if Assets served from a CDN, where paying per replicated region buys latency you would otherwise build yourself — and traffic to Bunny's CDN costs nothing.

Pick Tigris if Globally distributed buckets with no egress fees and tiered storage, where cold data drops to $0.004 per GB-month without a separate archive product to manage.

Consider something else: Bunny Storage — Replication is the price axis, so multi-region storage costs a multiple of single-region rather than a premium, and it is a CDN origin rather than a general-purpose S3 endpoint.

Consider something else: Tigris — Retrieval is charged on the Infrequent Access and Glacier tiers, so the tiering that lowers the storage bill can raise the access one. The cheapest tier is not the cheapest for data you actually read.

## Documented by only one

- Free tier: Tigris: Yes
- Pricing model: Bunny Storage: Per region rather than per gigabyte alone: replication is the price axis, so cost scales with how many of Bunny's regions hold a copy. True pay-as-you-go with a $1 monthly minimum and no commitments.
- Storage (entry plan): Tigris: 5 GB free, shown against a modelled $1.90 Tigris cost versus $8.75 on AWS and $11.00 on GCS for the same scenario
- Minimum storage duration: Tigris: None on Standard. Infrequent Access carries a 30-day minimum; Tigris names Archive and Archive Instant Retrieval as also subject to a minimum, listed in its pricing table as 90 days. Deleting or updating an object sooner is still billed for the full window.
- S3-compatible API: Tigris: Supported
