rsync.net is a very different product though.

I recently evaluated a bunch of cloud storage/backup services. rsync.net is a ssh-accessible ZFS filesystem (including support for zfs send/recv) in the cloud, B2 is object storage.

rsync.net has a cheaper version aimed at people doing borg backups. Unfortunately it's still 3x the cost of B2 for 1TB of data.

I currently use B2 for my offsite backups, only around 1.5TB, using rclone. Works well and costs just under $7/mo.

I looked at rsync.net and really liked the idea, but costing 5x as much just doesn't justify the features.

Where do they offer the 3x cost solution? Cheapest pricing I can find is 2.5cents/GiB/mo (the 5x price).

You need to look at their pages for specific tools, e.g. for Borg Backup: https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html (starts from 1.5 Cents Per GB / Month)
