How facts are sourced

• Official Backblaze pages and docs first; competitor pricing from each vendor's own pricing page.
• Every number cites a public source with the date checked (2026-10-14 unless noted).
• Anything not verified from a primary source carries a [unverified] or [verify] pill. Re-check before customer use.
• No Backblaze logos, artwork, or brand assets are used. Product and competitor names are used nominatively.
• The full list is on Sources.
