| Free tier | 10 GB file storage + 250 MB DB per PocketBase slot — slots are $9.99/mo (or $5/mo annual, or lifetime), with a 7-day trial unit GB; metered on stored-bytes |

| Price | none stated |

| Limits | - per-ip-shaping (binding) bandwidth could be throttled at sustained high volume source
7-day risk-free trial only; 10 GB per slot; SFTP access is a real plus for bulk transfer; fair-use bandwidth could be throttled at sustained high volume. |
|---|
| Identity | card (inferred, not read) not published |
|---|
| Egress | Unmetered bandwidth and CPU, fair use — this is the standout: storage is paid but egress is genuinely unmetered. |
|---|
| Per-object cap | not stated |
|---|
| Retention | 10 GB file storage + 250 MB DB per PocketBase slot — slots are $9.99/mo (or $5/mo annual, or lifetime), with a 7-day trial (7 days) |
|---|
| Interface | s3, rest, sftp rest |
|---|
| Tooling | PocketBase REST/realtime API, pocketbase JS/Dart SDKs, SFTP file access on PocketHost, S3 storage backend supported (like standalone PocketBase) |
|---|
| Composes with | Storage pools across slots ('Storage adds to your account pool, shared across every PocketBase you run'), so 10 slots = 100 GB for ~$50-100/mo. Not free, but the only entrant here with unmetered egress. Self-hosting PocketBase is free/MIT — that is the free path, on compute he already has. |
|---|
| Reliability | Run by a single maintainer (benallfree) on DigitalOcean; data volume not encrypted at OS level per their own FAQ. Small-operator risk. |
