Filebase pricing: what backups and restores cost

Based in the United States · Prices checked

Filebase Object Storage costs $0.015 per GiB a month beyond the 500 GiB its $7.50 monthly fee includes, with no download fees. 10 TB of backups: from $139.70 a month, $139.70 the month you restore it all.

10 TB, normal month
$139.70Object Storage, Global
10 TB, month you restore it all
$139.70Object Storage, Global

10 TB kept, 1 TB downloaded in a normal month, all 10 TB downloaded in the month you restore; the other calculator defaults apply.

Filebase costs more to keep than some vendors but less to get back: on a 10 TB backup it is the 13th cheapest of the 18 vendors with both bills for a normal month and the 7th cheapest for the month you restore everything.

What adds to a Filebase bill besides storage

From Filebase's published rules, per class and region. "Not published" means Filebase's pricing pages do not state it.

Class and regionMinimum storage periodSmallest billed objectMinimum monthly billReading data
Object Storage, Global None None $7.50 a month, with 500 GiB included Free

Reading data is the charge for reading what is stored, billed on top of any download charge. Downloads: no download fees. Deleting an object before its minimum storage period ends still bills the remaining time.

One storage class

Filebase sells one storage class, and getting all 10 TB back adds nothing to its bill: $139.70 in a normal month and in the month you restore.

When Filebase does not save you money

Filebase costs more than most vendors in a normal month for a 2 TB NAS offsite copy, a 10 TB backup repository, a 5 TB photo archive and a 100 TB compliance archive, and in the month you restore for a 100 TB compliance archive. The widest gap is a 100 TB compliance archive, a normal month: $1,396.98 at Filebase against $99.34 at Amazon S3 (S3 Glacier Deep Archive).

Each backup is a preset of the home calculator, priced with its other defaults on prices checked 17 October to 6 November 2026. A place counts each vendor's cheapest class that meets the backup's limit on how long data may take to be ready, among the vendors with a full bill for that month. Price your own backup above.

Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive: each file must be restored before you can download it, which takes up to 12 hours, and Amazon S3 bills each file for at least 180 days.

Oracle OCI Object Storage Archive: each file must be restored before you can download it (Oracle says the first byte comes back within an hour, but not when the whole file is ready), and Oracle bills each file for at least 90 days.

Head to head: Filebase against Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Scaleway Object Storage, Storj and Vultr Object Storage, both bills on the same backups.

What the pricing page does not lead with

  • Class A and Class B allowances are separate.

    Unused Class B reads cannot offset Class A writes, and vice versa.

    Source, checked 25 July 2026

  • Free egress does not make a request-heavy restore free.

    Class B reads above 10 million monthly still produce a paid line.

    Source, checked 25 July 2026

  • Filebase publishes no minimum object size or minimum duration.

    Small objects add to request counts, but Filebase bills no minimum object size.

    Source, checked 25 July 2026
The rest of this vendor's non-obvious rules 3 more

  • The current plan table gives Free 100,000 Class A and 1 million Class B operations, versus 1 million and 10 million on the Pro plan priced here.

    The deeper pricing docs still publish the Pro-sized allowances for Free. Until the two official pages agree, the Free-plan request allowances are uncertain, and the Pro bill does not apply to Free.

    Source, checked 26 July 2026

  • Unlimited object egress applies to paid plans; the Free tier includes 5 GiB monthly and then returns downloads as 403 until reset or upgrade.

    Source, checked 26 July 2026

  • Filebase storage is the average of each day's peak usage over a 30-day billing period, and unfinished multipart parts remain stored until completed or aborted.

    Uploading briefly and deleting later does not use a simple month-end snapshot; abandoned multipart parts can keep adding billable capacity.

Every class, and the rules that change its bill

What each class is for and the published rules that do not depend on its rate, each with the day it was checked. Current rates are in the bills above.

Object Storage 3 rules

S3-compatible object storage for backups and globally delivered data under the paid Pro plan.

Rule Value Why it moves the bill
Internet egress and retrieval not charged A restore can still pay Class B operations, but the bytes themselves add neither egress nor retrieval charges. Vendor's page, checked 25 July 2026
Minimum object size and duration does not apply Filebase states there is no minimum object size or minimum object duration, so small objects and read-only restores get no duration uplift. Vendor's page, checked 25 July 2026
Free plan eligibility conditional: a separate free plan includes 5 GiB The Free plan is a separate offer from paid Pro; choosing Pro means paying its base fee. Vendor's page, checked 25 July 2026

Questions buyers ask about Filebase

How does Filebase measure changing storage during the month?

Filebase uses the average of each day's peak usage over a 30-day billing period. Unfinished multipart parts remain stored until completed or aborted, so a month-end snapshot can miss billable capacity.

Does Filebase charge for small objects or early deletion?

Not on the Pro plan. Filebase publishes no minimum object size and no minimum object duration, so a delete or overwrite does not create a duration remainder. Small objects can still raise request counts.

Can I use Filebase as an immutable S3 backup target?

No under the current published capability boundary. Filebase's S3 matrix marks write-side bucket versioning and object-version listing unsupported and does not publish the Object Lock operations required for an immutable S3 target.

Can I reuse the Pro plan allowances on Filebase Free?

No. Free and Pro are separate offers. The current plan table gives Free 100,000 Class A and 1 million Class B operations, while deeper pricing docs still publish Pro-sized allowances for Free. Until the official pages agree, the Free-plan request allowances are uncertain.
