EGRESS COST For AWS there's no straightforward comparison path, any number given would easily be contested because of some kind of alternative path. But on QStorage egress will generally always be cheaper.
</aside>
Below are three realistic app scenarios showing how Quilibrium compares to AWS on common workloads (not including egress costs, which are usually cheaper on QStorage anyway) — from solo dev projects to enterprise-grade platforms.
Use case: A productivity or note-taking app with basic file uploads and serverless processing. No database or key management.
| Service | Usage | Quilibrium | AWS |
|---|---|---|---|
| QStorage | 100 GB + 500K API calls | $2.25 | $3.25 |
| F(x) | 1M requests, 10 GB·sec compute | $0.0001 | $0.27 |
| Total | $2.25 | $3.52 |
💡 Even small projects save ~35% while keeping full S3 & Lambda compatibility.
Use case: A photo-sharing or chat platform with media uploads, feed generation, and structured data. Includes encryption with KMS.
| Service | Usage | Quilibrium | AWS |
|---|---|---|---|
| QStorage | 500 GB + 5M API calls | $11.25 | $16.50 |
| Relational | 250 GB + 10M DB requests | $42.50 | $85.00 |
| F(x) | 50M executions, 100 GB·sec compute | $0.002 | $13.33 |
| QKMS | 5,000 keys + 500K API calls | $10.00 | $5,416.00 |
| Total | $63.75 | $5,530.83 |
💡 Over 98% savings with Quilibrium — especially with built-in, scalable encryption.
Use case: A B2B platform handling private client files, detailed analytics, and regulatory compliance. Heavy on storage, compute, and encryption.
| Service | Usage | Quilibrium | AWS |
|---|---|---|---|
| QStorage | 5 TB + 20M API calls | $100.00 | $155.00 |
| Relational | 2 TB + 50M DB requests | $120.00 | $250.00 |
| F(x) | 400M executions, 1,000 GB·sec compute | $0.01 | $106.66 |
| QKMS | 25,000 keys + 2M API calls | $50.00 | $25,000.00 |
| Total | $270.01 | $25,511.66 |
