Filebase vs Sia

Filebase provides S3-compatible object storage and IPFS storage through web and API access. Its S3 API handles uploads, downloads, listings, multipart uploads, pre-signed URLs and CORS, and works with tools such as AWS CLI and SDKs, rclone, s3cmd, Cyberduck, WinSCP, Veeam, Commvault, Synology Cloud Sync and TrueNAS. IPFS features include pinning, IPNS names, dedicated gateways, static-site hosting and IPFS APIs. A CDN is included, with bucket access routed through one global S3 endpoint. Server-side AES-256 encryption is always enabled and TLS covers data in transit. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 5 GB shared storage, 500 pinned files, 10 GB IPFS egress, free object egress and one bucket. Pro costs $7.50 a month and includes 500 GB, unlimited pinned files, 250 GB IPFS egress and 100 buckets. Enterprise pricing is volume-based and unlisted.

Sia offers encrypted, decentralized cloud storage through a consumer app and tools for developers building storage into applications. Files are encrypted on the user’s device before upload, and Sia says nobody else can read them. The app describes files as redundantly held across independent hosts worldwide, with parallel downloads from multiple hosts. Sia describes its peer-to-peer network as having no central access point or single point of failure. Consumer plans list 50 GB on Free, 500 GB for $7.99 a month on Plus, 5 TB for $14.99 a month on Pro, and 10 TB for $19.99 a month on Unlimited; Unlimited lists 4.99 USD/TB-mo over its included capacity. Separately, the network page lists median prices of $3.53/TB/month for storage at 3X redundancy, $0.03/TB for upload, and $2.25/TB for download. Developers can use storage SDKs for Rust, Go, Python, and JavaScript, or the S3-compatible s3d gateway with rclone, Cyberduck, Nextcloud, and Duplicati. The SDK can connect to an indexer hosted by the user.
