- url https://www.qnap.com/en-us/software/myqnapcloud-storage/pricing
- price $4.99/TB/mo with free egress (beta pricing for 1 TB) | parsed USD 4.99/TB-mo
- free tier: 16 GB free with any QNAP ID, no trial period, no file-size minimum. Paid starts $0.99/month; 1 TB was $4.99/month during beta. | unit: GB | 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: No data transmission costs — 'Data transmission is completely free', stated repeatedly and used as the explicit differentiator against S3/Azure/GCP. | metered: no
- identity: email | detail: email
- interface: s3, rest, webdav, rclone
- limits note: per-unit: 16 GB free; one plan per region per QNAP ID — deliberately unshardable.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: QNAP-only API and Hybrid Backup Sync / HybridMount. No rclone backend, no public S3 or WebDAV endpoint — programmatic access is effectively gated behind QNAP firmware. One subscription plan per QNAP ID per region, which forecloses stacking on a single account.
- composes with: Worth noting only because the free-transmission model at $4.99/TB would otherwise be competitive.
- reliability: Requires QNAP hardware or at least the QNAP account ecosystem for write access; the API is not a general object store.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: quota
  - dead_end.why: 16 GB free with any QNAP ID, no trial period, no file-size minimum. Paid starts $0.99/month; 1 TB was $4.99/month during beta.
