Storage Tools & Alternatives

Storage in this data covers seven tools and three marked open source, with very different tagline emphases despite sharing a category. Uploadthing is file uploads for TypeScript developers, described as dead simple, with a generous free tier listed, MinIO is high performance object storage released under GNU AGPLv3, with self-hosted free and enterprise pricing listed, and Cloudflare R2 is S3-compatible object storage with zero egress fees, listing a free tier of 10 GB of storage a month. Tigris is globally distributed S3-compatible object storage with zero egress fees, listing a free tier of 5 GB of storage a month, Backblaze B2 is pay-as-you-go cloud storage without vendor lock-in, listing a free tier of 10 GB of storage a month, SeaweedFS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system, listed as free open source, and Garage is an S3 object store so reliable you can run it outside datacenters, listed as free open source. That contrast is the useful framing for this page: match the storage task first and the pricing model second.
