| Free tier | 40 GB free on signup, advertised and confirmed as 'Get Up to 400 GB for Free' — +40 GB per friend who joins and stays active, i.e. 40 GB x 10 referrals = 400 GB. Referral ceiling 400 GB is a hard stop on a single account; past that you buy (500 GB $11.88/yr, 2 TB $2.99/mo, 10 TB $9.99/mo). unit GB; metered on unstated |
|---|
| Price | $1.00/TB/mo at 10 TB ($9.99) and at 100 TB ($99.99) — the flat $1/TB/mo floor makes it scale linearly, unlike promo pricing; $1.50/TB/mo at 2 TB ($2.99); $1.98/TB/mo at 500 GB ($11.88/yr) |

| Limits | - write-gated invited account must log in at least once a year or the granter loses the 40 GB source
- per-object-cap (binding) per-object: 5 GB source
per-object: 5 GB+ uploads fail through rclone with 'Operation Forbidden' or 'Too Large Object' unless chunk_size is set correctly — CyberDuck works because it segments at 1 GB (forum.rclone.org/t/blomp-unable-to-upload-5gb-files/42498, 2023-10-24, unresolved in-thread). Referral space is retention-clamped: invited account must log in at least once a year or the granter loses the 40 GB. |

| Egress | No transfer fees. Pricing page states 'Transfer fees: None' for 500 GB and for the 100/250/500 TB tiers ('Nu-uh!', 'Not gonna happen', 'Don't even think about it'). No egress meter documented anywhere on site. |

| Interface | rclone swift |
|---|
| Tooling | Upstream rclone backend. rclone's own source describes the swift backend as 'OpenStack Swift (Rackspace Cloud Files, Blomp Cloud Storage, Memset Memstore, OVH)' — Blomp is named inside rclone's registration string, i.e. first-class, not a fork. Also works with CyberDuck (segments large files at 1 GB). Auth: auth=https://authenticate.ain.net, auth_version=2, tenant=storage, user=<email>. Container name <user@example.com>. A purpose-built third-party doc site exists (blompuser.github.io/blomp-cloud-storage-docs) recommending swift+chunker+crypt+compress stacking. |
|---|
| Composes with | The referral ladder is the point: 40 GB per self-invited account x unlimited accounts. Nodeloc's thread documents the operator doing exactly this ('换个邮箱和IP，就又能增加40G，以此类推，可以一直加到400G'), 19 posts, several confirming it works and one (post 18) warning that invited users must log in annually or the space is reclaimed. Beyond that, rclone chunker + crypt + 40 GB shards turns a 20 TB archive into ~40 TB of chunks spread over ~100 accounts. |
|---|
| Reliability | Two independent red flags: a nodeloc poster notes Blomp 'literally copied pCloud's marketing copy' and later changed it; the referral model means capacity is revoked silently on annual-login failure. The Swift 5 GB boundary is real and has been open since at least Oct 2023. |
