# Storj

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/storage/storj/

S3-compatible storage distributed across tens of thousands of independent locations rather than regional data centres, charging for egress as well as storage.

## Who it suits

Workloads that want data spread across many independent locations rather than one provider's region, at a storage rate close to the cheapest here.

Consider something else if Egress is charged at the same $7 per TB as storage, so a read-heavy workload costs roughly double what the storage line suggests — the three free-egress providers here charge nothing for it.

## What the documentation says

### Pricing

- Egress over allowance: $7 per TB, the same rate as storage — reduced from $20 per TB on the Standard tier. Storj charges for egress where R2, Wasabi and Tigris do not, but at a tenth of what S3 charges. ([source](https://www.storj.io/pricing), read 2026-09-06)

### Infrastructure

- Regions: Distributed across tens of thousands of storage locations globally rather than named regions; a US-only option runs on SOC 2 type 2 compliant data centres. ([source](https://www.storj.io/pricing), read 2026-09-06)

### Storage

- Storage price: $7 per TB per month, which is $0.007 per GB. A $5 monthly minimum applies to Standard and Advanced accounts. ([source](https://www.storj.io/pricing), read 2026-09-06)
- Operations price: Segment fees have been eliminated across all new tiers. They still apply to accounts on legacy plans. ([source](https://www.storj.io/pricing), read 2026-09-06)
