How it compares to Amazon S3
S3 Standard bills for storage and every API request and every byte of egress, and offers no latency SLA. SeaweedFS Enterprise is a flat per-TB license — no API access fees, no egress fees — running on your own hardware at local network speed.
| Cost | Amazon S3 Standard | SeaweedFS Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | ~$23 / TB / month | $2 / TB / month |
| PUT / COPY / POST / LIST requests | $0.005 per 1,000 requests | Unlimited |
| GET / SELECT requests | $0.0004 per 1,000 requests | Unlimited |
| Data egress to internet | $0.09 / GB (first 10 TB / month) | Unlimited |
| Latency / throughput | No latency SLA; capped by internet round-trip | Local network speed |
S3 figures are AWS public list prices for the US-East-1 region, shown for reference; actual S3 costs vary by region, volume tier, and discount program. SeaweedFS Enterprise is a software license — hardware, compute, and network are provided by you.
