Computer backup pricing is increasing significantly as of October. You probably want to grab a two-year plan to lock in your current rate if you're happy with the service (I just did).
B2 pricing is going up 20%, though in return you'll get free direct egress (vs. via CDN partners, which is already free) for up to 3x your storage amount.
I guess this is what happens when you lose money as a public company and can't raise more (I'm a shareholder FWIW).
@valorin each time pricing has increased annual pricing has gone up. But this time annual is switching to the price of ten months to the price of eleven. I guess this is a long term cash flow problem, not a short term one, and Backblaze knows customers are sticky enough that annual subscriptions don't make them any stickier. Which...fair.
@davidbisset@ian My current 2y will renew at the current rate before it goes up it looks like; 2y rate is +30/year which could be worse. Last personal increase was in 2019 according to my billing history.
@farktal@davidbisset Yeah, there was $5/50, then $6/60, then $7/70, now $9/99. Backblaze was bootstrapped for the longest time, but I guess they got tired of that and hopped on this treadmill :(
