Tigris review
Flexible object storage with archive tiers, lifecycle controls, and zero egress fees.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tigris is a cloud object storage service for developers, platform teams, and AI/ML workloads. It provides globally distributed storage through web and API access, with S3 compatibility for existing tools and SDKs. Its storage options cover standard, infrequent access, archive, and archive instant retrieval use cases, while multi-region and dual-region bucket configurations support workloads with geographic placement or replication needs.
Pricing is usage-based and billed monthly by storage tier, with request classes billed separately. The Free Tier includes 5 GB of standard storage, 10,000 Class A requests, and 100,000 Class B requests per month. Standard storage costs $0.02 per GB per month with free data retrieval and egress. Infrequent Access costs $0.01 per GB per month, includes free egress, and applies a 30-day minimum storage retention period. Archive and Archive Instant Retrieval each cost $0.004 per GB per month; Archive includes free retrieval but requires restoration before access and has a 90-day minimum retention period. Archive Instant Retrieval has a 90-day minimum retention period and a separate retrieval charge.
Tigris stands out for combining storage tiers with lifecycle rules for tier transitions and object expiration. Bucket forking, point-in-time snapshots, object version recovery, automatic change tracking, and webhook notifications add controls for data workflows and recovery. TypeScript, Go, Python, Ruby, and PHP support complement the S3-compatible ecosystem, while zero egress fees can simplify distribution costs. Choose Tigris for globally distributed applications, tiered storage, and multi-region data access. Consider another service if your workload cannot accommodate archive restoration or minimum retention periods.
