Quinn compares the costs of both Amazon S3 and Cloudflare R2 Storage, using 1GB of data as an example. First, Amazon S3 costs $ 0.023 per month to store 1GB of data, and it costs $ 0.09 to send 1GB of data to users. On the other hand, with R2 Storage, the data storage fee is $ 0.015 (about 1.67 yen) per GB per month, and the data transmission fee is free.

If 1GB of data is downloaded to 1 million people in a month, Amazon S3 will send 1 million data transmissions, for a total cost of $ 53,891.16. In contrast, Cloudflare R2 Storage does not change the cost no matter how many times it is downloaded.






Quinn said that storing data in multiple object storages can reduce the risk of data loss, but if you only contract with Cloudflare R2 Storage, which has 'annual data durability of 99.999999999%', It states that it will greatly improve economic efficiency.
