Update to Storj Object Storage pricing – what node operators need to know

I’d love to hear a bit more about how the different tiers translate to RS numbers and segment size, etc. Or any other technical differences in perhaps node selection or other aspects. What differences make the global collaboration tier better for performance and the active backup tier better for long term hot backup storage?

Great questions, I hope to be able to share more in the coming weeks.

@BrightSilence

I’m also curious what existing plans will eventually be migrated to?

This was covered in the linked FAQs in the emails that were sent to customers. If they don’t choose a different tier by November 1st, 2026 they will be migrated to Active archive.

As well as how this change impacts global network vs select?

Select continues to be the offering for compliance/data sovereignty and in rare cases when TTFB performance in the U.S. East coast drive the buying decisions. Our global SNO network continues to be a huge competitive advantage and the new Global collaboration leans in on that advantage. Customers love the consistent performance anywhere that you can only get with such a diverse supply of nodes, networks, etc. and we are doubling down on this.
