The problem with cloud storage nobody talks about
The real price is never on the pricing page
Egress fees, API call charges, support tiers, and lock-in costs add up. You find out after you're committed.
Leaving is harder than it should be
Export fees, proprietary formats, and data held hostage. Switching providers shouldn't mean starting over.
Your cloud provider can read your files
Traditional storage encrypts data, but they hold the keys. You're trusting a promise, not an architecture.
What Pinner Does Better
Private by design
Your data is encrypted before it leaves your device. No one holds the keys. No one can train AI models on your data. That's not a policy. It's how the system is built.
What you see is what you pay
Storage and bandwidth, priced upfront. No tiers to climb, no surprise line items. The pricing page is the pricing page.
You can leave
Open standards, no export fees, no lock-in. Your data stays yours even when you walk away.
One plan. Every feature.
Storage, hosting, and pinning on one balance. Priced upfront, no feature gates.
Website Hosting
Host static websites on a peer-to-peer network. Replicas across independent providers, not one company's server.
Pin a zip or upload your build folder: CLI, GitHub Action, and API available.
IPFS Pinning
Pin files on a peer-to-peer network. They stay online as long as they're pinned.
