## Datarade (storage/datarade)

- `storage/datarade` | fails-quota | evidence reported | binding none | category data-marketplace
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://datarade.ai
- free tier: Zero bytes hosted. Datarade is explicitly a discovery and brokerage layer: it 'doesn't host or deliver data, instead, it focuses on discovery, comparability, and transparency'. Providers list a data product with metadata and a link; the bytes stay wherever the provider already keeps them. | unit: mixed | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: N/A — no delivery. | metered: no
- identity: email | detail: email
- interface: unknown
- limits note: fails-quota absolutely. Even the commercial model is commission-only ($0/year + 30%, or $6,000/yr + 20%), so listing is free but delivers nothing.
- interface detail: web
- tooling: Provider Studio for listings, no storage API. There is no upload endpoint because there is no object store.
- composes with: None. A listing is metadata; it consumes no quota and provides none.
- reliability: Anyone reading 'data marketplace' as 'data storage' will waste a wave on this category — every member of it (Datarade, data.world, Snowflake Marketplace-style listings, AWS Data Exchange) hosts metadata, not bytes.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: quota
  - dead_end.why: Zero bytes hosted. Datarade is explicitly a discovery and brokerage layer: it 'doesn't host or deliver data, instead, it focuses on discovery, comparability, and transparency'. Providers list a data product with metadata and a link; the bytes stay wherever the provider already keeps them.
  - dead_end.first_recorded: 2026-10-21
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-21: surfaced with the decisive line: 'doesn't host or deliver data, instead, it focuses on discovery, comparability, and transparency'.
  - [2] 2026-10-21: surfaced: 'Pricing that grows with you … Every tier puts your data products in front of them' — listing tiers, no storage tiers.
  - [3] 2026-10-21: surfaced: 'Commission-only Free $0/year; + 30% commission · 3 listings · 3 contact requ[ests]'.
