In their own words
Filebase
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.
Stratos
Stratos is a distributed infrastructure network offering computation, storage, and network traffic resources for blockchain applications. Its four core modules are blockchain, decentralized storage, decentralized databases, and decentralized computing. The documentation describes it as a platform for blockchain and Dapp developers to deploy, store, and execute code and data. The network uses Proof-of-Stake for its value layer, Proof-of-Traffic for resources, and Proof-of-Authority for meta-services; Proof-of-Traffic rewards participants based on network traffic contributions. Stratos IPFS, or SPFS, is an IPFS cluster for persistent storage. Its guide covers uploading, fetching, pinning, unpinning, and sharing files through API and WebUI instructions. The private access token is free with usage limits that can be expanded through a subscription. Gateway requests require an access token and face tier-based rate and traffic limits. Stratos lists Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, API, and self-hosted access, and is headquartered in Canada.
