Tigris pricing for backup storage

Tigris publishes free regional, cross-region, and internet egress across four storage classes. The restore bill instead moves through storage, request allowances, class-specific retrieval, and for Archive, a temporary Standard copy. Extraordinary bandwidth remains policy-shaped because the pricing page directs the buyer to contact Tigris without publishing a threshold or overage rate.

Price your own workload against every vendor, including the worst-day restore and how long it takes to come back.

What the pricing page does not lead with

Free egress is not a free restore across all classes.
Infrequent Access and Archive Instant Retrieval add $0.01 and $0.03 per GiB retrieval, and Archive adds temporary Standard storage.
Source, checked 2026-07-25T15:34:44Z
Archive and Archive Instant Retrieval have the same storage rate but different recovery paths.
Archive uses a temporary Standard copy, while Archive Instant Retrieval charges $0.03 per GiB directly.
Source, checked 2026-07-25T15:34:44Z
Only Standard receives the published 5 GiB storage free tier.
Applying it to the lower-cost classes understates their storage lines.

The rest of this vendor's non-obvious rules4 more

Extraordinary bandwidth has no published threshold or price.
The page cannot promise unlimited recovery treatment beyond a policy that requires vendor contact.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Infrequent Access has a 30-day minimum, while Archive and Archive Instant Retrieval have 90-day minimums.
Delete, update, or transition before the minimum charges the remaining period. Reading or restoring without mutating the source does not.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Object notifications are billed separately at $0.01 per 1,000 events in every published class.
data/providers.json does not contain this supplemental operation meter, so notification-bearing receipts remain stale rather than treating events as free.
Source, checked 2026-07-26
Tigris monthly storage is the average of each day's peak storage during the billing period.
A month-end snapshot cannot reproduce the bill when capacity changes during the month.

Tigris publishes free egress but directs extraordinary-bandwidth users to contact it. With no threshold or overage schedule, the page records policy state rather than a fabricated charge.

Monthly storage uses the average of daily peaks$9.90

Storage class: Standard · Billing period days: 30 · Days 1 to 15 peak storage GiB: 1,000 · Days 16 to 30 peak storage GiB: 0 · Class a operations: 0 · Class b operations: 0

Average daily peak storage	500 GiB

495 GiB of billable Standard storage	$9.90
Total	$9.90

Average daily peak = (15 x 1,000 + 15 x 0) / 30 = 500 GiB. Standard's 5 GiB allowance leaves 495 GiB billable. Storage = 495 x $0.02 = $9.90.

Every class, and the rules that change its bill

4 classes captured for this vendor. Each rule below is a published condition that moves a real line on the bill, with the page it came from.

Standard7 rules

Frequently accessed globally placed objects and backup repositories.

Published rules that move the bill for Standard
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Storage	First 5 GiB free monthly, then $0.02 per GiB-month	Only Standard receives the published free storage band.
Class A operations	10,000 free monthly, then $0.005 per 1,000	Write-oriented operations have a small allowance.
Class B operations	100,000 free monthly, then $0.0005 per 1,000	Large object-count restores can add a read-request line.
Regional, cross-region, and internet egress plus retrieval	not charged	The Standard restore keeps byte-transfer and retrieval at $0 while operations remain.
Extraordinary bandwidth	conditional: contact Tigris; no threshold or overage rate published	The unlimited-egress claim has a policy edge that cannot be converted into a dollar rate.
Minimum duration and early deletion	does not apply	Standard has no duration remainder.
Minimum billable object size	not published	No small-object floor is inferred.

Infrequent Access6 rules

Infrequently accessed online backups where lower storage cost offsets paid retrieval.

Published rules that move the bill for Infrequent Access
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Storage and retrieval	$0.01 per GiB-month storage and $0.01 per GiB retrieved	A full restore adds a retrieval line equal to one month of storage.
Class A and Class B operations	10,000 A and 100,000 B free monthly, then $0.005 and $0.0005 per 1,000	Cold data keeps the same separate request thresholds.
Regional, cross-region, and internet egress	not charged	Free egress does not remove retrieval or request charges.
Extraordinary bandwidth	conditional: contact Tigris; no threshold or overage rate published	An extraordinary recovery cannot receive an invented unlimited guarantee.
Minimum storage duration	30 days with a prorated early-deletion remainder	Mutation can bill the unused duration; a read-only restore cannot.
Minimum billable object size	not published	No object-size uplift is added.

Archive7 rules

Archived backups that can tolerate creation of a temporary Standard readable copy.

Published rules that move the bill for Archive
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Archive storage	$0.004 per GiB-month	The low archive line excludes the restored Standard copy.
Retrieval and temporary copy	retrieval not charged; restored data is billed as Standard storage for the selected duration	The restore needs size and retained-copy days even though the retrieval meter is $0.
Class A and Class B operations	10,000 A and 100,000 B free monthly, then $0.005 and $0.0005 per 1,000	Restore and read requests remain billable above their allowances.
Regional, cross-region, and internet egress	not charged	The restored copy can leave Tigris without a metered egress line.
Extraordinary bandwidth	conditional: contact Tigris; no published overage	Policy risk remains visible.
Minimum storage duration	90 days with a prorated early-deletion remainder	Removing archive data early can bill the remaining storage duration.
Minimum billable object size	not published	No small-object floor is inferred.

Archive Instant Retrieval6 rules

Archive-priced storage requiring immediate reads without a separate restore-copy step.

Published rules that move the bill for Archive Instant Retrieval
Rule	Value	Why it moves the bill
Storage and retrieval	$0.004 per GiB-month storage and $0.03 per GiB retrieved	Instant reads remove the restore delay but add the highest captured Tigris retrieval rate.
Class A and Class B operations	10,000 A and 100,000 B free monthly, then $0.005 and $0.0005 per 1,000	Operation allowances remain separate from retrieval.
Regional, cross-region, and internet egress	not charged	Free transfer does not offset the $0.03 retrieval line.
Extraordinary bandwidth	conditional: contact Tigris; no published overage	Policy replaces a priced extreme-use tier.
Minimum storage duration	90 days with a prorated early-deletion remainder	Mutation can owe remaining duration; a read-only restore cannot.
Minimum billable object size	not published	No object-size floor is assumed.
