Verdicts
Bunny Storage
$0.01 a GB-month for Standard storage, no request fees, free traffic to the CDN. Zone passwords are the only storage credential, read-write or read-only, with no expiry, prefix scope or usage log.
Tigris
No egress fees, and one endpoint (t3.storage.dev) with region auto for every location. 16 status incidents between 4 July and 2 October 2026, including outages in US regions on 31 July and 2 August.
Before you call either
Bunny Storage
- Use the regional hostname you were given when the zone was created (storage.bunnycdn.com is Frankfurt). Other regions return a 401
- Send the body as raw bytes with --data-binary. Base64 or form encoding gets a 401
- Add the Checksum header (uppercase SHA-256 hex) on uploads so a corrupt transfer fails instead of landing
- End a listing path with a slash, expect one JSON array for the whole folder, and keep to 5 listings in flight
- On a SlowDown 503 from the S3 endpoint wait the Retry-After seconds, then back off exponentially
Tigris
- Point the AWS SDK at https://t3.storage.dev with region
auto; the stdio MCP README still shows the older fly.storage.tigris.dev endpoint - Ask for an access key with a ReadOnly or ReadWrite role on one bucket rather than an org-wide key
- Keep presigned URLs short; Tigris accepts up to 90 days
- Don't call tigris_list_objects on a large bucket; it walks every object with no limit or prefix
- Use @tigrisdata/iam 2.6.0 or later before writing policies with conditions
