| Free tier | Free tier object storage: 15 GB of standard-class storage, 100 000 PUT, POST and LIST operations, 1 000 000 GET and HEAD operations, and the first 10 TB of outgoing traffic each month; the free volume covers standard-class storage only unit GB; metered on stored-bytes; The marketing page shows a standard, a cold and an ice panel together, at 15 GB, 1 000 GB and 3 000 GB; the documentation restricts the free volume to standard-class storage, so the cold and ice figures are panels of a calculator and not free capacity. |

| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
The free tier is explicitly a test allowance: 'Ресурсы предоставляются исключительно для тестирования. Не подразумевается их безвозмездное предоставление' — i.e. a test allowance and not a standing free tier; 4,000 bonus roubles is credit-shaped and will expire |
| Binding | volume-quota the 15 GB of standard-class storage and the 10 TB of monthly outgoing traffic are the two ceilings that meter, and both are counted per organisation over the whole storage account rather than per bucket |
| Identity | card Participation is limited to individuals, sole traders and legal entities registered in Russia. An individual registers with a phone number confirmed by SMS plus an email address, or with SberID. The account must hold at least 100 ₽ or 100 bonus points before any resource is created, and the 4000 bonus points are granted only after a bank card is bound. |
| Egress | The first 10 TB of outgoing traffic each month is not billed in any storage class; beyond it traffic bills at 1,1712 ₽ per GB free allowance: the first 10 TB each month, in any storage class price per tb: RUB 1 171,20 per TB beyond the 10 TB, billed at 1,1712 ₽ per GB |
| Per-object cap | A single object is limited to 5 TB; one request uploads at most 5 GB and larger objects need multipart upload; in the cold and ice classes an object smaller than 128 KB is billed as 128 KB |
| Retention | Storage is billed on the largest volume held during each hour, at the tariff of the class the object is in |
| Interface | s3-compatible, rclone s3 |
| Tooling | S3 API (rclone 's3' with a custom endpoint) — the free-tier page is explicitly 'Соберите свое Объектное хранилище S3' |
| Composes with | The free path is 15 GB of standard-class storage plus the first 10 TB of outgoing traffic each month; a cold or ice bucket bills per GB-month at its class tariff, so an archive tier there is a paid tier. |
| Reliability | the free volume is granted for an unlimited time from the date of the contract, the promotion itself runs to 31 December 2026, and the operator reserves the right to change quota sizes at any time; an account that starts no service within 60 days may be dropped from the promotion |
| Notes | Free tier object storage: 15 GB of standard-class storage, 100 000 PUT, POST and LIST operations, 1 000 000 GET and HEAD operations, and the first 10 TB of outgoing traffic each month; cold and ice storage bills at the class tariff and is not part of the free volume. |
| Evidence note | documented every value is quoted from a first-party Cloud.ru page read on 2026-11-01; the marketing page's cold and ice panels are not a free allowance, which the service documentation contradicts. The identity gate is read from the promotion rules, not from the registration form itself. |

VK Cloud's RUB 2,000,000 startup grant needs a legal entity and is a discount schedule rather than credit. The campaign rules approved on 2026-06-30 require the account to be registered in the Russian Federation, and the 2 vCPU / 4 GiB free VM is closed to accounts registered after 2026-06-30.
