# How storage is billed

Gcore Object Storage pricing is based on the amount of data stored, outgoing traffic, and API request volume. S3 Standard and SFTP use GB-based pricing; S3 Fast uses GiB-based pricing, where 1 GiB = 1.074 GB.

## Pricing

### S3 Standard

General-purpose storage for most workloads.

| Item     | Price (EUR)    | Price (USD)      |
| -------- | -------------- | ---------------- |
| Storage  | €0.04/GB/month | \$0.044/GB/month |
| Egress   | €0.02/GB       | \$0.022/GB       |
| Ingress  | Free           | Free             |
| Requests | €0.03/10K      | \$0.033/10K      |

S3 Standard offers discounted self-commit plans for 5 TB and 20 TB commitments, available in any S3 Standard location. Committed-volume rates are listed on the [pricing page](https://gcore.com/pricing/cloud).

SFTP storage uses the same pricing model as S3 Standard — the same rates for storage, egress, ingress, and requests.

### S3 Fast

High-performance storage optimized for AI/ML workloads, IoT telemetry, and latency-sensitive applications, available in Sines-2, Sines-3, and London-2.
