# Tigris

> Globally distributed S3-compatible storage that caches objects near readers.

- Runs on Fly.io's global footprint, pitched as object storage that behaves like a CDN
- Objects are pulled toward the regions reading them, with no egress charges
- Youngest product here, from the smallest company
- Modern API and tight Fly integration, but a short operational track record

| True cost /mo (USD) | $29.5/mo | Inferred | 2026-07-23 | https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/pricing/ | Storage 1,000 GB x $0.02 = $20.00. Class A 1 M x $5.00 = $5.00. Class B 9 M x $0.50 = $4.50. Egress $0. Total $29.50. The two operation rates are the least certain inputs on this row; if they are wrong the total still lands between $20 and $35. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--true_cost_usd |

| True cost from Sydney (AUD) | A$44.84/mo | Inferred | 2026-07-23 | - | Unchanged from the headline figure: Tigris prices storage and operations the same in every region and charges nothing for transfer anywhere, so Sydney delivery through Fly.io's syd footprint costs what any other region costs. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--sydney_cost_aud |
| Storage $/TB/mo | $20/TB/mo | Vendor-claimed | 2026-07-23 | https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/pricing/ | $0.02/GB-month for the standard tier. Infrequent-access and archive tiers are cheaper at rest. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--storage_price |
| Egress $/TB | $0/TB | Vendor-claimed | 2026-07-23 | https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/pricing/ | No data-transfer charges, which is the point of the product alongside its automatic edge caching. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--egress_price |
| Egress cap (x stored) | - | Unknown | 2026-11-07 | https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/pricing/ | No ceiling published on the zero-egress rate. Along with R2, this is the unbounded kind of zero. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--egress_cap_multiple |

| CDN integration | free-bundled | Inferred | - | - | Caching and replication toward reading regions is default behaviour, not a separate CDN product you configure. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--cdn_integration |

| IAM granularity | 3 | Inferred | - | - | Access keys scoped by bucket and permission, plus shareable presigned access. Not a full policy language. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--iam_granularity |
| Sydney region | ● | Inferred | - | - | Runs on Fly.io's footprint, which includes syd. Placement is expressed as a region constraint rather than a distinct endpoint hostname. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--sydney_region |
| TTFB from Sydney | 60ms | Inferred | - | - | Local once an object has been pulled into the Sydney region; the first uncached read of a globally-placed object is slower. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--ttfb_sydney |
| Durability (nines) | 11 nines | Inferred | 2026-07-23 | - | - | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--durability_nines |
| Uptime SLA | 99.99% | Vendor-claimed | 2026-11-07 | https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/llms-full.txt | Stated in Tigris migration docs; we found no separate SLA document with credit terms. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--uptime_sla |
| Object lock / WORM | - | Unknown | 2026-11-07 | - | We could not confirm S3 Object Lock support either way. Assume no until you have verified it. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--object_lock |
| Replication model | multi-region | Vendor-claimed | 2026-07-23 | https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/overview/ | Objects replicate toward the regions reading them; this is the product's core design rather than an add-on. | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--replication_model |

| Positioning | Object storage that behaves like a CDN, for globally distributed apps. | Inferred | - | - | - | https://toolweight.com/compare/s3-compatible-storage#tigris--positioning |

**Verdict.** The most interesting design: data gravity handled, no egress, Sydney via Fly, but youngest vendor with no SLA.

## Alternatives

- [Bunny Storage](https://toolweight.com/tools/bunny-storage), Edge storage built as a CDN origin, with its own API rather than a faithful S3 one.

- [DigitalOcean Spaces](https://toolweight.com/tools/digitalocean-spaces), Bundled object storage plus free CDN, priced as a flat base fee with overages.
- [Hetzner Object Storage](https://toolweight.com/tools/hetzner-object-storage), The cheapest credible S3 endpoint in Europe, with a deliberately thin feature set.
- [iDrive e2](https://toolweight.com/tools/idrive-e2), USD 4/TB S3-compatible storage with zero-egress marketing and a fair-use cap.
- [MinIO](https://toolweight.com/tools/minio), The self-hosted S3 reference implementation, your hardware, your bandwidth, your SLA.
- [Scaleway Object Storage](https://toolweight.com/tools/scaleway-object-storage), European-sovereign S3 storage with multi-AZ classes and a real IAM system.
- [Storj](https://toolweight.com/tools/storj), Decentralised erasure-coded storage: USD 4/TB stored, USD 7/TB egress, no regions.
- [Wasabi](https://toolweight.com/tools/wasabi), Flat-rate hot storage with no egress or API fees, bounded by a fair-use cap.
