Storj vs Walrus

Storj provides distributed cloud Object Storage and Object Mount for accessing cloud files as if they were local. Object Storage is described as a drop-in AWS S3 replacement, while Object Mount works with S3-compatible storage and provides POSIX access without modifying files or requiring a gateway. Existing buckets can be mounted without migration. Storj encrypts data and metadata end-to-end, at rest, and in transit by default. Objects are split across tens of thousands of storage nodes, with tiers designed for 11 nines of durability. S3-compatible object lock and versioning support immutability and protection from accidental deletion. Listed integrations include Amove, Veeam, TrueNAS, Splunk, LucidLink, FileZilla, and Cyberduck. Customers use it for backup and recovery, media workflows, AI, and scientific work. Standard pricing is $7 a month per TB for storage, with 7.00 USD per TB egress and a 5.00 USD minimum monthly fee. A 30-day free trial is available; there is no free plan.

Walrus is a verifiable data platform for storing and managing data across apps, providers, and agents. Its decentralized storage protocol is coordinated onchain through Sui. Storage costs $0.023/GB/month, paid in WAL, with SUI used for transaction gas; stored data expires when its paid duration ends. Walrus Memory is intended to give AI agents persistent, portable memory across apps and sessions. It supports semantic remember and recall, automatic fact extraction, and generated answers grounded in stored memories. Listed integrations include native MCP support, plugins for OpenClaw and NemoClaw, and compatibility with major LLMs. Developers get TypeScript and Python SDKs, a relayer, smart contract, indexer, and dashboard. Memories are encrypted before storage and decrypted only for an authorized signed request; Sui contracts enforce ownership and programmable access, including scoped delegation. The separate Walrus Console is in a closed, invite-only Mainnet beta, with each space limited to 5 GB and five folders and uploads capped at 100 MiB. Walrus Memory has a launch-period free plan, with usage limits that may change.
