Your data.Free to leave.
S3-compatible buckets with access keys, org-scoped names and one published storage rate — and zero rupees on the wire. Upload free. Download free. The hyperscalers built a business on charging you to retrieve your own bytes; we declined.
Five rates. Two are zero.
The entire price of Buckets fits in one table. Storage is metered hourly, so a GiB stored for a day costs a day — not a month. Requests are billed per million, in two classes, the same way you already think about them.
What's missing is the line every other rate card buries in an appendix: data transfer. On AWS S3, egress is a billed line item. Here, ingress and egress are ₹0 — and usage is metered transparently, so if that ever changes it will be a published rate, not a surprise. Your data is yours to move, mirror or migrate away.
Full pricing in the docs| Item | Unit | Notes | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Storage | per GiB-month | metered hourly | ₹1.30 |
| Class A requests | per million | writes · PUT, COPY, POST, LIST | ₹390 |
| Class B requests | per million | reads · GET, HEAD | ₹31 |
| Ingress | per GiB uploaded | any volume | FREE |
| Egress | per GiB downloaded | any volume · any destination | FREE |
The bill, computed in public.
A representative month: 100 GiB stored, two million writes, ten million reads, and as much download traffic as your users generate. The arithmetic is short enough to check on the back of the invoice — which is the point.
No tiers to model, no transfer matrix to consult. The only number that scales with your audience — egress — is multiplied by zero.
- Storage 100 GiB 100 × ₹1.30 ₹130
- Class A (writes) 2M requests 2 × ₹390 ₹780
- Class B (reads) 10M requests 10 × ₹31 ₹310
- Egress every GiB out — × ₹0 ₹0
Your tools already speak it.
Buckets implements the S3 API, so migration is a flag, not a
rewrite. The AWS CLI, boto3, rclone, s3cmd, MinIO clients, your
backup tooling — point them at
https://buckets.excloud.dev with an Excloud access
key and carry on.
And because egress is free, the door swings both ways. Syncing a bucket out — to a laptop, a CDN, or another provider — costs exactly what it should: nothing.
$ aws s3 ls --endpoint-url https://buckets.excloud.dev
$ aws s3 cp dump.tar.gz s3://prod-backups/ --endpoint-url https://buckets.excloud.dev
$ aws s3 sync s3://prod-backups ./restore --endpoint-url https://buckets.excloud.dev # egress: ₹0 The spec sheet.
