Free tier	Free 50 GB; Plus $7.99/mo for 500 GB; Pro $14.99/mo for 5 TB; Unlimited $19.99/mo for 10 TB, then +$4.99/TB-mo. 20 TiB = $19.99 + 10 x $4.99 = $69.89/mo unit GB; metered on unstated
Price	$2.00/TB at 10 TB tier; $4.99/TB above; 20 TiB = $69.89/mo
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	not published as a metered line item on any plan page I could open; plans are quoted by storage volume and by speed cap (500 Mbps / 1 Gbps / 5 Gbps). Treat unmetered egress as UNVERIFIED.
Identity	email email
Binding	none no constraint in the record binds at this scale; the record carries no limit of a kind the vocabulary names
Interface	s3-compatible, rclone, cli S3-compatible via self-hosted s3d gateway; iOS/Android app; Sia Storage SDK (JS/Rust/Go/Python/Dart)
Tooling	rclone, Cyberduck, Nextcloud, Synology Hyper Backup, Arq, AWS CLI - all named on the s3d page
Composes with	s3d on a $3 VPS + rclone = an S3 endpoint whose bytes live on 530 independent hosts; put Cloudflare in front and egress becomes CF's problem
Reliability	Depends on third-party hosts remaining online; the network reports 2.19 PB used of 7.12 PB across 530 active hosts, so repair pressure is real but the margin is wide.

Free tier	50 GB free — 'The free plan includes 50 GB of storage, up to 3 connected apps, and transfer speeds up to 524 Mbps — with no Siacoin to buy and no server to run.' unit GB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	unmetered but rate-shaped by plan: 'transfer speeds up to 524 Mbps' on Free. No per-GB egress line item exists in Sia's model.
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Limits	per-ip-shaping 524 Mbps source per-object-cap: not stated on the pages read. request-rate / per-ip-shaping: 'transfer speeds up to 524 Mbps' is the explicit Free-plan throttle. retention: not stated; storage is contract-based, so retention is paid-for duration, not decaying.
Binding	per-ip-shaping one stream is shaped, and a user's throughput is the shaped rate times the number of streams
Interface	s3-compatible, rclone s3
Tooling	s3d gateway (github.com/SiaFoundation/s3d) exposes an S3-compatible API; docs name Rclone and Cyberduck explicitly. Python/Go/Rust/JS SDKs also exist. rclone has a native 'sia' backend (rclone.org/sia/).
Composes with	50 GB x unlimited accounts (signup is free, no Siacoin required). The plan gate is '3 connected apps' per account, and an app is a token — the same wrapper pattern as Google service accounts. 400 accounts = 20 TB, but each is a separate signup.
Reliability	New hosted product (app launched 2026); only paths offered on the free page are the iOS/Android app and the s3d gateway, so scripting depends entirely on s3d working.
Notes	50 GB free — 'The free plan includes 50 GB of storage, up to 3 connected apps, and transfer speeds up to 524 Mbps — with no Siacoin to buy and no server to run.'
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
