| Free tier | HDD block volumes attached to a Danbo VM, Romania only. Initial beta run ~20 TB capacity total across all customers. unit TB; metered on unstated |
|---|
| Price | $5.62/TB/mo flat (€5). At 5 TB: €25 = $28.09/mo. At 20 TB: €100 = $112.34/mo. No volume break. The caveats (20 TB total supply, price flagged to rise, provider's own no-SLA warning) make this a poor primary and a reasonable third replica. |

| Limits | - per-object-cap (binding) 20 TB cap source
per-object-cap: none. Total supply is ~20 TB for the entire beta. Price explicitly flagged as likely to rise: 'This price will probably increase a bit for future restocks'. |

| Identity | email email |
|---|
| Egress | Not published as a per-plan number. The model is a VM plus attachable block, with the VM carrying the traffic allowance. Treat as unknown/unmetered-by-usage rather than free — this is a one-person operation and the beta explicitly has no published egress schedule. |

| Per-object cap | 20 TB cap (20000000000000 bytes) |

| Retention | not stated |

| Interface | rest, sftp, ssh, rclone block + sftp/ssh (Danbo), rest api |

| Tooling | rclone over SFTP, Kyun API v2 (api.kyun.sh/endpoints) |

| Composes with | Can be grown while attached, renamed in the UI, and switched between local SSD and Bricks 'with a single click'. Designed for media storage rather than hot reads. |

| Reliability | The most honest reliability disclosure and simultaneously the worst track record. The provider's own post-Mesa writeup describes a migration that 'took about 5 days' with intermittent unreachability, a multi-week server-delivery failure, and states plainly: 'do NOT use Kyun for anything that earns you money without a verified, up to date backup that you can roll over to at a moment's notice'. Also notes customers 'reported us to the cops'. No identity documents required — a rare property here. |
