Jul 23, 2025 - 8 min read

Rumble Cloud offers two core advantages for Web2 and Web3 developers. First, our pricing, performance, and reliability make us a practical alternative to Big Tech providers. Second, we’re committed to a free and open internet. These values are built into our infrastructure—from cost transparency to end-user fairness.

Rumble Cloud’s object storage is built to provide a straightforward, cost-effective, and technically robust solution for developers who need reliable storage without the complexity and expense of Big Tech. We remove the complex pricing tiers and punitive data transfer fees that make budgeting unpredictable and expensive. In contrast, our object storage service offers ease of integration and transparent cost.

Transparent Pricing

No hidden costs or surprise bills. What you see is what you pay.

No Vendor Lock-in

Use standard tools and APIs. Switch providers anytime.

S3 Compatibility: There is no new API to learn and no proprietary SDK to install. Our object storage is compatible with the Amazon S3 API. You can use your existing tools, scripts, and applications by simply changing the service endpoint and credentials. This dramatically reduces the friction of migration and integration.

Simple Pricing: The cost is $10 per terabyte per month and you can cancel or upgrade at any time. There are no additional fees for API requests and no ingress or egress fees. You can upload and download as much data as you need without incurring extra data transfer charges, which is a significant departure from the pricing models of Big Tech cloud providers.

Object storage is included in our Starter tier or available as-needed with the Developer tier. Here’s a breakdown of Rumble Cloud’s pricing tiers.

Rumble Cloud Tier What’s Included Best For
Developer tier Object storage costs $10 USD / month for each terabyte.

You also get low-cost monthly pricing (under $10 USD) with a shared vCPU model and customizable options for additional memory and storage.

All tiers let you scale or pause resources on demand.
Dev environments, testing and QA, launching and testing new projects, hosting smaller-scale projects.

Good value for object storage, pay per terabyte.
Starter tier Our dedicated vCPU tiers include 1 terabyte of object storage per month. Additional object storage is available for $10 USD per terabyte (billed monthly).

The monthly Starter tier price starts at $68 USD and includes 2 dedicated vCPUs, 8 GiBs memory, 25 GiB of block (volume) storage.

All tiers let you scale or pause resources on demand.
Production servers and applications in addition to object storage.

Great value if your object storage project also requires production-grade compute power and networking resources.

Our simple, powerful model supports a wide range of applications.

For traditional web applications (Web2), the lack of data transfer fees unlocks new levels of efficiency.

  • Static Asset Hosting: Hosting your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a public bucket is a common use case. For content-rich sites or applications with high traffic, eliminating egress fees on these assets provides significant cost savings and budget predictability.
  • Media Storage and Delivery: Applications that serve images, video, or audio are often penalized by data transfer costs. With Rumble Cloud, the cost remains flat, regardless of how many times your media is accessed. This is ideal for e-commerce, portfolios, or any content-driven platform.
  • Backup and Disaster Recovery: Store database dumps, application state snapshots, or user-generated content archives. The low storage cost and lack of retrieval fees make it an economical choice for a robust backup strategy.

For developers in the Web3 space, our independence from Big Tech provides philosophical alignment, while the S3-compatible interface provides a practical, easy-to-implement storage layer.

  • NFT Media Storage: Storing NFT assets (images, videos, metadata files) off-chain is standard practice. Rumble Cloud provides a durable, cost-effective home for this data. Point to the object’s URL from your on-chain metadata for a reliable and affordable solution.
  • dApp Front-End Hosting: Host your decentralized application’s front-end for high availability. By pairing our object storage with a decentralized domain service such as the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), you can build a more fully decentralized architecture.
  • Archiving Blockchain Data: Store historical blockchain data or node snapshots for analysis or state-syncing. Object storage is well-suited to handle these large datasets, and our pricing model makes it affordable to keep this data accessible.

Rumble Cloud provides familiar dev tools without unnecessary complexity.

  • S3 API Integration: As noted, this is the core feature. Your existing S3-native tools and libraries will work.
  • Versioning: Protect against unintended data modification or deletion. You can enable versioning on a per-bucket basis via the S3 API to preserve the history of your objects.
  • Access Control: Manage permissions for your data using public or private buckets, configurable through the console or the S3 API.

Getting up and running on Rumble Cloud is easy. Our self-service portal lets you immediately sign-up, pay for service, and provision your project. Once in, use our extensive product documentation to help get you started with your first project. Read the article, Introduction to object storage on Rumble Cloud for a technical overview and links to more information.

Rumble Cloud’s object storage offers a practical, performant, and cost-effective alternative for developers. By providing S3 compatibility and a simple, all-inclusive pricing model, we eliminate the vendor lock-in and financial unpredictability that often accompany cloud storage. It allows you to focus on building your application, not on managing your cloud bill.

With Rumble Cloud you pay a flat $10 per terabyte per month—no request fees, no data-out penalties. With most public clouds, the headline storage price for the first tier is roughly the same, but every million PUTs/GETs and every gigabyte you download adds incremental charges. In a typical image-heavy web app that serves 2 TB of data per month, those variable fees can more than double the advertised rate. By eliminating line-item surprises, Rumble makes your month-end bill track perfectly with the single metric you control: how many terabytes you store.
