What would AT-1 save on your cold tier?

Storage-and-egress savings on data you keep at rest, using AWS S3 Standardpricing and AT-1’s measured, byte-for-byte-lossless ratios. Faster queries (reading <1% of a file) cut compute on top of this — not counted here.

Your current cold/archive footprint for this data type.

Net new data retained per month. Year-1 saving uses the average of months 1–12.

Egress is billed on bytes moved; smaller files move fewer bytes at the same ratio.

Default: S3 Standard $0.023/GB-month. Use your blended rate for Glacier / Snowflake / vendor tiers.

Default: ~$0.09 / GB cloud egress (comparison page). Set 0 if you pay none.

Our fee: graduated $ / TB under management / month

Billed monthly on your TB under management (the original data you store): $30/TB (0–10 TB), $24/TB (10–50 TB), $18/TB (50–250 TB); 250 TB+ is custom — contact sales. Each band is charged at its own rate. Free under 100 GB compressed/month.

Opening launch pricing — introductory rates valid 60 days from signup.

Above 250 TB under management you’re in the Scale band — pricing is a negotiated committed-use rate, so this calculator can’t quote the fee. Contact sales for a quote.

The fee is graduated on TB under management and billed monthly; opening launch rates are valid 60 days from signup. Encode is a one-time cost of ~$0.37/TB, so payback is under a day; the saving recurs every month. Figures are illustrative defaults — tune to your real rates.

All ratios are verified byte-for-byte lossless on real public datasets (docs/WEDGE.md). Pricing assumptions are cited in this page’s source; we do not invent vendor list prices — enter your blended rate for non-S3 tiers.
