Vultr Object Storage pricing: what backups and restores cost

Based in the United States · Prices checked

Vultr Object Storage Standard costs $0.018 per GB a month beyond the 1 TB its $18 monthly fee includes (Archive: $6.00 per TB beyond the 1 TB its $6 monthly fee includes), with the first 1 TB of downloads free each month. 10 TB of backups: from $180.00 a month, $280.00 the month you restore it all.

10 TB, normal month
$180.00Standard, New Jersey
10 TB, month you restore it all
$280.00Standard, New Jersey

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

On a 10 TB backup Vultr Object Storage is the 16th cheapest of the 18 vendors with both bills for a normal month and the 15th cheapest for the month you restore everything, so a restore barely changes its place.

What adds to a Vultr Object Storage bill besides storage

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

Class and regionMinimum storage periodSmallest billed objectMinimum monthly billReading data
Standard, New Jersey Not published Not published $18 a month, with 1 TB included Free
Premium, New Jersey Not published Not published $36 a month, with 1 TB included Free
Performance, New Jersey Not published Not published $50 a month, with 1 TB included Free
Accelerated, New Jersey Not published Not published $100 a month, with 1 TB included Free
Archive, New Jersey None Not published $6 a month, with 1 TB included Free

Reading data is the charge for reading what is stored, billed on top of any download charge. Downloads: the first 1 TB of downloads free each month. Deleting an object before its minimum storage period ends still bills the remaining time.

Archive storage is left out: backup tools such as restic, Kopia and Veeam read their repository directly, and archive storage makes them restore each file first.

When Vultr Object Storage does not save you money

Vultr Object Storage costs more than most vendors in a normal month for every backup below, and in the month you restore for a 2 TB NAS offsite copy, a 10 TB backup repository, a 5 TB photo archive and 1 TB of app files with public downloads. The widest gap is a 100 TB compliance archive, a normal month: $600.00 at Vultr Object Storage against $99.34 at Amazon S3 (S3 Glacier Deep Archive). Vultr Object Storage Archive would cost less in both months for a 2 TB NAS offsite copy, a 5 TB photo archive and 1 TB of app files with public downloads ($12.00 for a 2 TB NAS offsite copy, a normal month) but is left out of these places, because we have no ready time from Vultr Object Storage to check against the limit each of those backups sets for data to be ready.

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.

Vultr Object Storage Archive: each file must be restored before you can download it (Vultr publishes no time for it), and Vultr sets no minimum storage period.

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: Vultr Object Storage against Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Filebase, Hetzner Object Storage, Storj and Wasabi, both bills on the same backups.

What the pricing page does not lead with

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.

Standard 1 rule

General-purpose online object storage for backups that fit the Standard performance profile.

Questions buyers ask about Vultr Object Storage

Are Vultr Object Storage requests free?

Yes. Vultr charges only for capacity and outbound transfer, not for API requests, so the number of files a backup tool writes or reads does not change a Vultr bill.

Can I calculate a complete Vultr Archive restore?

The bill, yes; the time, no. Vultr charges no retrieval fee. A restored object is billed as unarchived storage beyond the 100 GB the Archive plan includes for the days you keep it readable, 7 by default, and downloads beyond the included 1,000 GB are charged at Vultr's transfer rate. Vultr publishes no time for a whole restore, so a restore deadline cannot be checked.

Does Vultr publish small-object or early-deletion charges?

For Archive, yes: Vultr says Archival Object Storage has no minimum retention, so deleting archived backups early adds no charge. For Standard, Premium, Performance and Accelerated, Vultr publishes no minimum object size, minimum storage period or early-deletion rule, and we do not count an unpublished charge as zero.

Can I use Vultr Object Storage as an immutable target?

Not verified. Vultr documents versioning, but the official compatibility matrix does not publish a complete Object Lock contract. Archive and versioning also have a mutual enablement restriction. Governance, compliance, retention limits, and a named immutable-backup integration remain not published.
