Our industry has historically done a poor job of putting ourselves in our customers’ shoes. I’d like to take a moment to discuss the “easy” part. The “affordable” part of our story is well established. Today’s pricing reduction puts our download pricing 1⁄ 5 that of S3. B2’s storage pricing already being 1⁄ 4 that of Amazon’s S3 has certainly helped us get there. Today, we have over 500 petabytes of customer data stored. We havĮ a well documented, relentless pursuit of lowering storage costs - it starts with our storage pods and runs through everything we do. Since our founding in 2007, Backblaze’s mission has been to make storing data astonishingly easy and affordable. Ian Wagner, Senior Developer, Sermon Audio With Backblaze cutting the bandwidth prices 50% to just one penny a gigabyte, we are excited about offering much higher quality video. When we decided to use Backblaze B2 as our cloud storage service, their download pricing at the time enabled us to offer our broadcasters unlimited audio uploads so they can upload past decades of preaching to our extensive library for streaming and downloading. Why Is Backblaze Lowering What Is Already The Industry’s Lowest Price?īecause it makes cloud storage more useful for more people. In keeping with Backblaze’s overall approach to providing services, there are no tiers or minimums.

This price reduction applies immediately to all existing and new customers. While that move solidified our position as the affordability leader in the high performance cloud storage space, we continue to innovate on our platform and are excited to provide this additional value to our customers. If some of this sounds familiar, that’s because a little under a year ago, we dropped our download price from $0.05 to $0.02. As always, the first gigabyte of data downloaded each day remains free. This means that B2 download pricing drops from $0.02 to $0.01 per GB. Backblaze is pleased to announce that, effective immediately, we are reducing the price of Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage downloads by 50%.
