## SpaceByte Cloud (India) — ₹150/TB/mo claimed

- `storage/spacebyte-cloud-150-tb-mo-claimed-the-lowest-credible-lo` | fails-quota | evidence inferred | binding none | category consumer-cloud-drive
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-21 (live) | stale on 2026-11-21
- url https://spacebyte.in/cloud-storage-pricing
- price $1.58/TB/mo at 1 TB ($18.95/TB/yr) as advertised, $1.19/TB/mo on the ₹1,650/yr annual. | parsed USD 1.19/TB-mo
- free tier: Starter 50 GB ₹20/mo; Freelancer 100 GB ₹35/mo; 500 GB ₹100/mo; Studio Pro 1 TB ₹150/mo (or ₹1,650/yr); 25 GB free forever. Enterprise pooled storage on request. | unit: GB | metered on: stored-bytes | 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: Claimed free. The business page is titled «Eliminate Egress Fees» and argues against providers «that charge hidden egress fees», and the pricing JSON-LD implies flat-rate. But no numbered egress allowance, no fair-use clause and no overage rate is published anywhere on the site — so the claim cannot be falsified from outside. | metered: yes
- identity: email | detail: email
- interface: s3, rest, webdav, rclone, cli
- limits note: Zero programmatic access. The entire site is SEO-shaped: multiple near-identical 2026 comparison articles on its own domain ranking itself #1, with an «Independent Industry Audit» framing. The 1 TB price is also contradicted by its own pricing page rendering an empty shell to every reader that reached it — /pricing, /pricing.html and /cloud-storage-pricing all resolved to the same 37-word stub with `confidence: low`.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: None documented. No public API, no WebDAV, no S3 endpoint, no rclone backend, no CLI. The product page describes «Zero-Knowledge Personal Vault», AES-256-GCM client-side encryption, mobile sync and a web UI. This is the disqualifying gap.
- composes with: Per-account consumer plans; no documented route that uses several accounts and no API to automate one.
- reliability: unverified: https://spacebyte.in/cloud-storage-pricing, / and /pricing answered HTTP 503 with a maintenance notice on 2026-11-03; routes tried: four reader pins, a direct fetch, the archive (none for the pricing page) and a probe.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- evidence note: no plan page could be read on 2026-11-03: https://spacebyte.in/cloud-storage-pricing, the site root and /pricing answered HTTP 503 with a maintenance notice (probe:spacebyte.in); the plan prices date from 2026-10-21 and no page states them now
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: quota
  - dead_end.why: Starter 50 GB ₹20/mo; Freelancer 100 GB ₹35/mo; 500 GB ₹100/mo; Studio Pro 1 TB ₹150/mo (or ₹1,650/yr); 25 GB free forever. Enterprise pooled storage on request.
