S3 vs Cloud Storage: estimate storage capacity cost
Compare S3 and Cloud Storage capacity estimates with matched gigabytes, region, class, and pricing-date assumptions.

Match the storage class and region
Compare the same hypothetical 1,000 GiB-month of standard storage in equivalent regions. Capacity is only one part of an object-storage bill: requests, retrieval, replication, transfer, and early-deletion rules can change the total.
The calculator models the capacity input shown on the page. It does not claim identical durability, availability, operations, or feature behavior. Add those differences to an architecture review before selecting a provider.
Are these current quotes?
No. Rates change. Read each official price page, record the retrieval date, and keep class, region, currency, and excluded operations beside the estimate.
