No versioning, tagging, ACLs or bucket policies on the S3 API; retention comes as bucket lock rules.\n\n**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.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cloudflare R2\n\n1. Set region to `auto` and the endpoint to https://\u003caccount-id\u003e.r2.cloudflarestorage.com. `us-east-1` also works, other region names fail\n2. Ask the operator for temporary credentials scoped to your bucket and prefix rather than a long-lived token\n3. For public reads put a custom domain or an r2.dev subdomain on the bucket; presigned URLs only sign the S3 hostname\n4. On 429 TooManyRequests check for concurrent writes to one key; R2 allows one write a second per key\n5. Send If-None-Match with * on PutObject so a retried upload can't overwrite someone else's object\n\n### Tigris\n\n1. 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\n2. Ask for an access key with a ReadOnly or ReadWrite role on one bucket rather than an org-wide key\n3. Keep presigned URLs short; Tigris accepts up to 90 days\n4. Don't call tigris_list_objects on a large bucket; it walks every object with no limit or prefix\n5. Use @tigrisdata/iam 2.6.0 or later before writing policies with conditions\n\n## Other comparisons with Cloudflare R2 or Tigris\n\n- [Box API + MCP vs Cloudflare R2](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/box-api-vs-cloudflare-r2.md)\n- [Box API + MCP vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/box-api-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Cloudflare R2 vs Dropbox API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-r2-vs-dropbox-api.md)\n- [Cloudflare R2 vs Google Drive API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-r2-vs-google-drive-api.md)\n- [Dropbox API + MCP vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropbox-api-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Google Drive API + MCP vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-drive-api-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Amazon S3 vs Cloudflare R2](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-s3-vs-cloudflare-r2.md)\n- [Amazon S3 vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-s3-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Backblaze B2 vs Cloudflare R2](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/backblaze-b2-vs-cloudflare-r2.md)\n- [Backblaze B2 vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/backblaze-b2-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Bunny Storage vs Cloudflare R2](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bunny-storage-vs-cloudflare-r2.md)\n- [Bunny Storage vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bunny-storage-vs-tigris.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-04", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Cloudflare R2 vs Tigris", "url": "" } ], "description": "Cloudflare R2 has a score of 78.4 (A) against Tigris's 44.6 (E).
